Table text value is trimmed

It seems like the Text value ' a' is shown as 'a' and the value 'a b' is shown as 'a b' in the table view.



Please show us the actual value. It is confusing.

Thanks @ta-aoki . This was likely a visualization improvement to consolidate the value in a small viewport in Tables even if there’s a lot of spaces. If you click into the cell you’d still see the full value including leading spaces and intermediate spaces.

Agree it’s a bit unexpected/not typical say for spreadsheets.

Could I ask for the use case and urgency here - are you looking at a lot of data with white spaces and need to be able to tell when there’s a leading space, for example, visually? Or was it just surprising to see this in the Table view?

In my case, I was confused when I was troubleshooting table related issues in our App. I had to export the table to CSV to find out the cause.

When You compare Values in a trigger and it says “not equal” and then you watch the table and they look equal, that is misleading.
I Prefer only cutting at the end, if to long and then visualize it (… with grey background or so)
same is for numbers. its fine to round them, but then visualize it!

Thank you, this makes sense. How often do you have leading spaces? My guess would have been that that’s rare. Was this an edge case data issue, or something you frequently encounter?

In the Tables view, some users may prefer at a glance to know when a cell is not empty - acknowledge there are other UX ways of handling this.

Not so often, but it will take time to trouble shoot when it happens.

OK, we’ll triage this one, and keep an eye on the thread for other inputs. We’ll circle back with an update after triage.
