Question about variable value

Configuration
1

I have the following question:
I have the following code:

Excl: |
{% if trigger.payload == 'on' %} 
{% if Target == 'bathroom_mb' %}
everything|group|sink
{% else %}
' '
{% endif %} 
{% endif %}

This gives the following result:
Excl: everything|group|sink
If I change the code to:

Excl: |
{% if trigger.payload == 'on' %} 
everything|group|
{% if Target == 'bathroom_mb' %}
sink
{% else %}
' '
{% endif %} 
{% endif %}

I get the following result:
Excl: |-
everything|group|

sink

Can I fix this or is what I want not possible?

thanks for any response.

Hello Bart Teuwen,

Try this or a variation. The “-” removes newline characters.

Excl: |
{% if trigger.payload == 'on' -%} 
everything|group|
{%- if Target == 'bathroom_mb' -%}
sink
{% else %}
' '
{% endif %} 
{% endif %}

Thank you very much for your response.
Of course this solves it, should have known but didn’t see it anymore. :unamused: :grimacing: :innocent:
