Hi,

On windows the shortcode of a transformation is not used exactly. This is confusing and creates additional work e.g. to remove spaces:

yeah, maybe we should revisit this. if you begin the shortcode with an underscore i think it will get rid of the spaces, but that's not really discoverable:

_INV

cheers

as a general rule, we like spaces because they make things easier to read.

Hi Jonathon,

agreed, but the user can still write " INV" (with space at the beginning) instead of "INV". And for me, if I want "_" instead of " - " space dash space, could simply use _INV.
I totally agree with you, that spaces make things easier to read - as long variable names make those easier to understand If, only if the user want's spaces, let him use those, that's ok, but if not, why not attach the postfix to the variable as is?
