Port currently uses JQ v1.7.1, which does not support functions introduced in v1.8 (e.g., trim, ltrim, rtrim). This causes confusion when users follow the latest jq documentation or test queries in the official playground. Upgrading to v1.8 would enable these functions, remove the need for regex workarounds, and align Port’s capabilities with the latest jq features across self-service actions, mappings, and exporters.
