> I understand [DROOLS-5017] has been re-purposed to allow Info and Warn level messages be displayed on Stunner Validation dialog. That is fine.
> But, imho, an UX point is not being considered, where is necessary instead.
> By the DMN spec, a node should not have a prefix/trailing space, as space insensitivity would mandate 1 trailing or 2 trailing spaces are simply ignored etc.
> The engine is lenient to avoid this crashing the evaluation, but still is a bad designed model to persist the node name (DRGElement name and its corresponding variable name) with those extra spaces IMHO.
> Further, I consider is just the Analyst which slipped a space.
> In my perspective, the editor should just strip away the prefix/trailing space:
> * -While Importing a DMN model from file Upload- (See [DROOLS-5062|https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DROOLS-5062])
> * While editing a DRGElement and hitting OK to save its name
> For your consideration, thanks.
