avoid text fields getting trimmed

[joe_g]

Hi there,

Is there a way to avoid text fields getting trimmed?

I'd like the possibility to start with two blank returns in textfield.

Odd request, I know...

Setting 'Maximum length' to '0' (indicates no maximum) under the 'Input' tab in the textfield setup will do the trick. Works for inputfieldText, but not for InputfieldTextarea.
Setting 'Maximum length' to '0' is not meant for this and the missing trim() in InputfieldText::setAttributeValue() could be added in future PW versions.

If you need the spaces in the output in general, its better to add via template file.
