Use the Groovy trim() method. For instance, def myTrimmedParam = params.myParam.trim().

You can use the trim parameter:

string(name: 'some parameter', trim: true)

from which version can you use trim? I did not find it in the documentation https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#parameters – Miguel Costa Mar 26 '21 at 09:47
