Hi,

you can use trim() method and it will remove any leading or trailing spaces

Hi,

for new records you can use before insert/update BR and use trim() method

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	current.short_description = current.short_description.trim();

})(current, previous);

for existing records you can run fix script and run it once.

updateRecords();

function updateRecords(){
	try{
		var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
		gr.query();
		while (gr.next()) {
			gr.short_description = gr.short_description.trim();
			gr.update();
		}
	}
	catch(ex){
		gs.info(ex);
	}
}
