How to ensure that data is saved to Airtable without any extra whitespace at the end

Users sometimes enter their data with an extra space at the end, for example when they copy/paste from other sources.

You can use the Trim trailing whitespace feature to ensure that any extra spaces at the end of a text field's value are not saved to Airtable. This feature is turned on by default for newly single line and long text fields, but if you want to turn this on for your existing field, go to:

  1. Your form's fields list

  2. Select the field you want to trim automatically

  3. Go to the Advanced section

  4. Turn on Trim trailing whitespace
