KB275435: Using Edit Links to pass prompt answers dynamically for element that start with a space ignores the leading space in MicroStrategy Web 10.0

SYMPTOM:
If an attribute element is started with a space and is passed from a grid in Report Services Document to a prompted Report via Edit Links, the target report shows no data. When checking the filter of the target report it's found that the space is either omitted or replaced with “nbsp;” which It leads to the faillure of passing answers to prompted reports as seen below:
Source document, notice the space in the attribute element: " 0707107"

Results in the Target Prompted report after clicking on the attribute element. notice the filter is missing the space: "0707107" instead of " 0707107".

No data returned for this view. This might be because the applied filter excludes all data.

1. In Strategy Web 10.0, create a document with a grid.
2. Set the Edit links on the attribute in the grid to a prompted report.
3. Insert an attribute element in the database starting with a space.
4. Run the document in Strategy Web and click on the attribute element and it will pass the answer to the prompt.
5. In the target report window notice the error message.
