## Symptoms

- When creating/updating the name of a rule, if a new line is added in the name, the error `"The object name must not contain whitespace characters at the beginning or the end"` is displayed even though the object name does not contain whitespace characters.

## Solution

No fix is required. This behavior is by design.
It is not allowed to have multiple lines in the rule name. Write the name of the rule in one line.
