The easiest way to think about this is to think about what would the content of your field be if all the spaces were removed. If the length of the resulting value is 0 (i.e it only contains spaces) then you can use this information to throw a validation error, which will then prevent the user form submitting the form.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/87777?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 09 Nov 2021 12:28:40 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:fe941729-80e3-4c3d-ab4e-e675865795efStefan Helzle<p>In Appian we typically use validations on text fields to make sure the entered text is valid.</p> <p>Example:&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.3/recipe-add-multiple-validation-rules-to-one-component.html">docs.appian.com/.../recipe-add-multiple-validation-rules-to-one-component.html</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
