Managed Metadata Multivalue Object contains space in front of label and value
In Microsoft Flow when I use the sharepoint get items action, when it retreives a managed metadata multivalue field it put a space in front of the label and value properties of each json object in the array. However the first object in the array is ok (no space). When I try to validate if a term object exists in an array of terms object, it does not work as the extra space makes the json objects not equals.
Anyone aware of this?

- Sorry, I found why. When I select multiple terms in the term picker, it add a space between each term. Surely why I have these blank spaces. I guess the terms picker should remove the spaces between each selected terms....
- How did you compensate for the spaces? I'm running into this also. I created a multiple step process to parse spaces, but would be interested if you found a simpler solution.
