Issue/Introduction

Static dependent lookup values can be saved with a white space, which leads to it not being displayed in UI object properties

Example of impacted lookups: Investment Type / Investment Stage

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Go to Administration - Lookups
2. Create a new Static Dependent Lookup
3. Go to values
4. Create values a,b,c,d normally
5. Now create the value e with a white space before e ' e'
6. Save, Note it saves successfully and displays without space
7. Now create an attribute on Project object with this lookup and add it to the views
8. Open a project and pick value a, save
9. Note it saves correctly
10. Now pick value 'e' and Save

Expected Results: Value to save correctly as the white space should NOT be saved in the database

Actual Results: Value is saved as ' e' on database level and displays as blank in UI

Environment

Release : 15.7.1, 15.8.1

Component : CA PPM STUDIO

Resolution
