Hi all,

In order to normalize data in the contact form, I want to suggest the country code a blank space for the "phone" field.

I used this command in order to set the value :

formContext.getAttribute(PhoneAttribute).setValue(country_code   ' ');

However, the white space at the end is automatically removed and the field is only populate with the country code.

Did Dynamics implement an automatic "strip" method ? Is it still possible to keep the white space ?

Thank you

Hello Tiffoox ,

Something like below-

Code snippet-

var string ='This is test';

console.log(string); // No space

console.log(" " + string.trim() + " "); // space at start and end

In your case, should be like this -

formContext.getAttribute(PhoneAttribute).setValue(country_code + string.trim() + ' ');

Output-

This is test

This is test

Hope this will solve your issue, please marked the answer accepted so It will help others to quickly find the soolution.

Thanks,

Ambesh Singh

This is a by-design behavior: text data entered in a form will be trimmed before sent out to the server. However, you can still have white spaces appended to your string if you use the WebAPI to save them.
