I'm having some issues creating a custom plugin. It appears that any spaces in an attribute name are getting removed when displayed in the web client.
For example, using the VBScript example located here... https://www.site24x7.com/help/admin/adding-a-monitor/plugins/windows-custom-plugins.html#vb-script. If I change the "Age" attribute to "Age at hire", when displayed in the web UI it shows as "Ageathire".
Is this by design?

Hi,
Yes. Spaces are stripped by design. Attribute name should contain alphanumeric and _ characters only with less than 30 characters.

That seems like a terrible limitation. That makes things almost unreadable.
For example, look at how bad the attribute names look in this example provided by Site24X7...

Where do I submit a request to allow spaces in the attribute names for plugins?
