Function: left fill lines of multiline text string with spaces until each line reaches a certain number of characters

If I have the following text:

ab
  ab

I’d like the result of the function be

  ab
  ab

(with leading spaces, so all lines are of length 4).

Many programming languages/databases/spreadsheets provide a function for this (e.g. SAP - lfill, Python - rjust/(l)zfill) that can be used to accomplish this - can baserow do this too?

Hey @coda ,
Unfortunately, there is no such function to do this. Even manually you can’t paste space at the beginning of Long text as it is trimmed somewhere under the hood, as I understand

Yes, I have encountered that as well and that is unfortunate
