Error description
FASTMAP PROCESS APPEARS TO BE TRIMMING WHITESPACE CHARACTERS (CARRIAGE RETURNS, NEWLINES, HIDDEN WHITESPACE) DURING IMPORT Steps to Reproduce - Create or edit a few object types so that it has a text area with leading carriage return, trailing carriage return, multiple leading spaces, multiple trailing spaces, multiple adjacent carriage returns in the middle on the text. The most common appearance of the issue occurs when alt-enter is used to create a newline in an Excel spreadsheet. - Export the data using 'Export to Excel'. - Save the file and open it to check if the white spaces are preserved. - Make edits to other objects in the spreadsheet. - Use the fastmap import process to update the changes. - Check the logs to see if the report corresponds to the number of fields that were edited. Expected Result - FastMap would only update the fields that were edited. Actual Result - FastMap process does some white space trimming that doesn't seem to happen in the UI.
