TASK DESCRIPTION Currently, string values are not trimmed for some properties (cf T47925 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T47925>), and if I enter a string ending with a blank space in a text value (tested with burial plot reference (P965 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P965>)), I'll get the following error: Could not save due to an error. Malformed input: test Two problems here: - the error message doesn't give a clear indication of what is happening (a blank space at the beginning or the end of the string) - the blank space at the end of "test " is part of the message, but not visible because it's the very last character of the message Which means that the user gets an error message but doesn't get a clear path to fix the input. Suggestions: improve the description of the error message, or a minima enclose the faulty string with quotes so the blank space is more visible.
