Bring back option to filter preceding spaces
Before the upgrade in version 7, the autoindex workflows were able to filter preceding spaces on entries coming from a GP database. This was disabled and either removed or hidden in the workflow changes made with the Version 7 update. These spaces are causing issues with reporting and searches within docuware due to their inconsistent nature and currently, a team member has to go through every document to ensure that the spaces are removed in the linked fields.
Please bring this feature back as part of the auto-index workflow setup.

Thank you for your contribution. Your idea is available with version 7.0.
If the option “Drop leading blanks” is enabled for the appropriate file cabinet field, preceding spaces are automatically removed, regardless of how the index entry was set.

There appears to still be an issue with this if you are using an OCR import template. When filling a field and selecting the option: Select Text after known characters, if there is a leading space on a field following the known text, the text will be saved with a leading space/ multiple spaces. To complicate this issue further, once a document is stored with the leading space, search dialogs automatically trim the leading space I type in the field when choosing from the dropdown that has the leading space in the select list. So, the only way to find these is to specifically look for them one entry at a time. Can there be an option on the OCR template After known characters option that would allow leading spaces to be trimmed. This seems to be the only place leading spaces are still not trimmed in docuware that I have found. - refer to case SR-169862 for more info if needed.
