Life obligations analysis: double, trailing or leading whitespaces are not allowed (S.14.01, EIOPA rule TV58)

A blocking check on the life obligations analysis template (S.14.01), in the quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly group (QRG), quarterly branch (QRB), annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG), annual branch (ARB), financial stability solo (QFS), financial stability group (QFG) and financial stability branch (QFB) returns.

It is new in taxonomy 2.10.0, for returns from the first quarter of 2027. 2.8.2 returns do not have it.

The rule in plain words

Double, trailing or leading whitespaces are not allowed

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
