Hi Jim,

For me, I've seen enough random nonsensical data migrate from our previous legacy systems into Evergreen to not trust that the data is meant to make sense from the get-go. We've done quite a bit of data cleanup in our database post-migrations.

That said, are you suggesting that there ought to be a way for Evergreen to detect when staff are adding to an alert field only spaces and prevent the field from being saved? If so, I think that'd be an interesting new feature to consider.

Not sure if this is a feature request or a bug -- a patron record was flagged for an alert even though there was no visible alert text. The 'alert' consisted of 3 spaces which went undetected by the staff. Deleting the spaces removed the flag.
