Hi All, So When I add a product, an ID is created, this ID is then relied upon by a category to link all products together. The issue is that it seems glide automatically adds two spaces to the ID, which forces me currently to have to go in and delete them for the products to link. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/7/17a4be4b447ddf631ca467dfebcb9cf72fb72fe3.png) Any insight from you guys will be hugely appreciated! ---

What type of column is that, and how are you generating the ID? ---

most likely, you might be using a form container or a set column values to set this unique ID.. in such a case, it’s possible that you may have by mistakenly added two spaces after your unique ID in the column. Could you double check this and share a screenshot of where you’re mapping the unique ID? ---

Hi Darren, wow you are quick! Context: Workout Tracker Sets \> Exercise \> Day So When a set is created, it pulls in this ID, that is breaking ,that belongs to an exercise. Eg I add 3 sets of DB Bench, it pulls in the ID for DB Bench to these 3 set rows (in a different table to the exercise) This then pulls in data that is linked for the exercise, plus inversely pulls in the set data for other usage in analytics ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/d/0d7f7cbb6f643eb13efe7f4e83b564371a93efe1.png) Thanks a million for your help! ---
