Warning message: schematics contains symbols that have leading and/or tralling white space field names

Schematic

Hi :slight_smile: New to the forum
When opening one of my schematic I get the warning message on top of the screen:
Schematics contains symbols that have leading and/or trailing white space field names

Have run Electrics Rules Checker but it does not come up with this warning.

How can I locate the symbols which have the white space fields??

I don’t know, but note that it’s the field name that has stray white space, not the contents of the field. Did you add any fields? Are some of the symbols from non-KiCad libraries?

Edit: maybe if you export a BOM you can see all the fields names and values.

Ok I found one …

I have made fields for JLCPCB … and found one with a trailing white space!!
… but, damn it, there are so many components to go through manually to fix …
On the other hand it did not seem to affect my upload to JLCPCB … so must be the MFR.Part # field I made …

Use the Edit Symbol Fields dialog (the same as the BOM dialog). You can rename the field there for all symbols. But this doesn’t work for libraries, only schematics.

A tool I wasn’t aware of … thanks … could see I had multiple field names which should have been the same so was fairly easy to locate the 3 components that was in question … Thanks for the help all :slight_smile:
