CSM Topology Details Export to Not Add Spaces to CG/Session ID

Currently when we export the CSM Topology Details if there are Sessions/CG's which are a single character long, the CSV export will export those like ' 7' instead of just as 7 which means if we are using the data in another spreadsheet, we have to go fix all the CG's which have a space in them before Excel will recognize it as a number.

    I have also tried moving the CG column to the middle and it makes no difference.

    I see the same behavior in both Chrome and Firefox.

    It appears the desired feature is working. Have requested more detail but have not received it yet. If you feel this still isn't working for you please provide additional data and reopen.

    Can you provide and example? I just tried this and did not see that issue . The export came out as the following. The 3rd line down has a cg of just "7" and I did not get an extra space before the value.

    Does the issue occur on a certain browser type?

    Are you running on the latest level of CSM?

    Have you tried rearranging the columns in the table? You can move the column location. By default it's the last column. Do you still see the issue when it's not the last column?
