Need a way to pass Empty Fields at EOL

[Ryan H.]

Is there a way to tell get an empty fields to pass through the Xlate without specifying each one? I have an issue where this is needed and by default Cloverleaf strips out any empty fields at the EOL. For example I’ve included a screenshot of a diff on PV1-03 the top line is my input. I want it to match exactly on the output. We’re running version 20.1 if that helps.

You could try making the last field required in the OB Variant. I don’t know if this  works in 20.1 but give it a try.

A brute force way to do this might be to concat a string of carets to the last value.

Trying to do this right now with field repetitions.

IB:
~data1~~

Currently I notice CL will not iterate the end repetitions 🙁

So OB is:
~data1

I need the OB to be:
~data1~~
