Is there any quick way to remove specific at the beginning and end of all fields names? For example i am looking looking to remove all spaces to the left and right of all field names. How do i do this?

@aa70627, you are possibly looking for the trim() evaluation function. You can also use replace() evaluation function to replace regular expression based match pattern from string.
