Symptom
There is extra spacing/line breaks between lines in Employee Referral Program Candidate referred to a job requisition email trigger notification, even though the format of the email template in Admin Center>Manage Recruiting Email Templates is configured so that there should be no breaks i.e. SHIFT+ENTER was used to break the lines, as per KBA 3040949:

Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Careers
- Search Jobs
- On the Select Action Drop down menu of any job, click on Refer Friend to Job
- Enter details of candidate to be referred and click Send
- Referred candidate receives email with extra spacing:
- However, if you tried to send an adhoc email to a candidate with the same email template, they receive the email without the spacing, as it is configured in Manage Recruiting Email Templates:
Resolution
This is expected behaviour for this email triggered by the system, due to the formatting of this trigger.
To improve spacing in the email output, you can use SHIFT + ENTER when adding the line break between paragraph instead of just using ENTER when setting the email template.
