Export function in web ui prepends a whitespace for some fields

• I have read checked the Common Issues page

Describe the bug

using the "export data" button in Snipe-IT asset view, I get a prepended single whitespace (" ") in some of the data fields.
These fields do not have a leading whitespace (checked in web ui and mysql database)

Reproduction steps

1. login to snipe-it
2. select "assets"
3. select "export data" button
4. download file (csv, txt, json) (it's correct in .xls, .doc, .pdf; it's broken differently in XML - see below...)
5. view file and see that some fields are prepended with a " " character (eg " laptop")

Expected behavior

no prepended " " character (eg "laptop")

Additional context

the install has been living (and updated) for a while (a few months)
we do make extensive use of custom fields

We've just noticed this:
excerpt from XML export:

<row id="3">
  <column-1>
    appdyn.example.de</column-1>
  <column-2>
    2701</column-2>
  <column-3>Linux</column-3>

same excerpt as CSV export:

" appdyn.example.com"," 2701","Linux"

and JSON:

"Asset Name": " appdyn.example.de",
"Asset Tag": " 2701",
"Modell": "Linux",

So - a blind bet would be to give the text based formatter a closer look.
