Output from velocity has 4 blank spaces in front of string

Question

Hi there,I am currently encountering a problem while trying to fetch a field value from a custom object to use it in an email. Specifically, I am retrieving a string from the custom object to use as the value of a query parameter in the URL within the email. Please refer to the VTL code below and the attached screenshot of the email. ISSUE can be noticed at the bottom left of the screenshot. I have already verified the value in the custom object and confirmed that there are no spaces included.NOTE - I checked the value in CO, if that is having the spaces included but answer is NO. There is no spaces in the value on CO. Looking forward for some insights here. #set($listing = $sorter.sort(${listings_cList}, ["listing_registration_start_date_time:asc"]))

#if($list.listing_status_completed.equals('0'))
	#set($listingtoken = $list.listing_token)
    $listingtoken
#end

You have 4 spaces in front of the output! It’s right there in your code. So that’s the clear reason. VTL is always space-preserving.

As Darshil says, the approach you’re using with one part of an <a> outside of the token isn’t supported anyway. Move everything inside the token.

Instead of adding the UTM to the URL, can you display it raw(just the UTM value) to see whether it has spaces?  The VTL code you have mentioned in the question doesn't have the part where you’re adding the UTM from the CO record at the end of the URL.
