Can't put a period next to a Custom Property?

Forum|Forum|3 years ago

In my template I have something like this:

texthere blabla {{ person|lookup:'amount'|default:'' }}.

So it should come out like: texthere blabla $126.

Instead it comes out like: texthere blabla $126 .

It puts a space between the custom property and the period while this space is unwanted by me nor put by me when I’m editing the template.

Hey @blissy,

Welcome back to the Community!

I would suggest double checking to see if your profile property value actually has a trailing space. Leading or trailing spaces can cause this odd behavior.

Whenever you’re referencing a custom profile property using a lookup filter, it’ll return the exact value of the property being referenced.

Template using {{ person|lookup:"Phone Type"|default:"" }}?

I hope this helps!

What’s a trailing space and what are you demonstrating with your example?

Hey @blissy,

A trailing space is a space that is located after the final character in a text field. Similarly, a leading space that is located before the first character (letter, number, punctuation mark) in a text field.

In my screenshots, I’m demonstrating what I mentioned. That when you’re referencing a profile property, it’ll return the exact value of the property.

From my screenshots, the value I have set for the Phone Type property is “Apple Iphone”. When i’m referencing that property using “{{ person|lookup:"Phone Type"|default:"" }}?” it’s returned as “Apple Iphone?”.

Note how because my property value has no trailing spaces, the question mark immediately succeed it. Same thing would occur if I used a period (.) instead of a question mark.
