trim() not working

Hi,

I have text field in an interface and I need to trim the Leading and trailing spaces for the value if there any. So I have used trim() as in below code. I tested by giving some sample text with leading and trailing spaces, trim() has removed all the trailing and leading spaces in the interface. But when I checked the CDT to see how it stored, the spaces are still there and it is carrying forward the same value to next screens also.

Can anyone please help me in resolving this. 

 

            a!textField(
                    label: "Bundled Submission Description",
                  labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
                  value: trim(ri!bundle.submissionDesc_txt),
                  saveInto: ri!bundle.submissionDesc_txt,
                  required: true,
                  validations: rule!RGRACSLBL_FN_getTextLengthValidationMessage(
                    input_txt: index(
                      ri!bundle,
                      "submissionDesc_txt",
                      {}
                    ),
                    length_int: 100,
                    validationMsg_txt: cons!RGRACSLBL_TEXT_VALIDATION_MSG[16]
                  )
                )

    Hi you are just using the trim function on the value part which is used for displaying the data try to use the function in saveinto

    saveInto:a!save(ri!bundle.submissionDesc_txt, trim(save!value))

      That's the expected behaviour of the code you share. Using trim() in the value parameter will only modify the text as it is displayed to the user, but not as it is stored. Instead, change your saveInto to

      a!save(target: ri!bundle.submissionDesc_txt, value: trim(save!value))

      This will remove the spaces as the values is stored to the rule input.
