I now seem to have found the solution:

def manage_addMyFolder(self, id, title='',
                     keywords=[],
 ...
    ob.keywords=[]
    for keyword in keywords:
        keyword=keyword.strip()
        if keyword != '' :
            ob.keywords.append(keyword)

Anyway, thanks for the hint.

Thanks.  As you see I now use a more general variable name.

But as any answer opens a new question:

Now I managed to get striped keywords at creation time of my Folder.
But if I change the keywords via the properties tab they will not be
stripped.  I guess I have to rewrite a further method - but which one?

Is there any template?

Kind regards
