KB484143: "Trim leading and trailing white space for warehouse element data" option in Web Preference does not work for dossiers or documents in Presentation mode.

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

Description

The Trim leading and trailing white space for warehouse element data setting in Web Preferences does not work for dossiers and documents in Presentation mode.
Even with the setting enabled, the white space displays in a dossier in Presentation mode. 
 

The white space also displays in a document in Presentation mode. 

The setting works properly for a document in Editable mode.

Why is this happening?

The Trim leading and trailing white space for warehouse element data setting is designed for only Interactive mode (deprecated) and Editable mode on versions prior to Strategy 10.x. The setting will not work as expected for dossiers and documents in Presentation mode due to the design. An enhancement has been logged for this feature.
 

Solution

Currently, this is still being reviewed for feasibility by our Technology team and it is not scoped for any upcoming scheduled Strategy release. Please see the following workaround to resolve this issue.
