"\\DPWTECHENG\Plat\" + !plat_book! + "_" + !plat_page! + ".tif"
throws an syntax error in ArcPro 2.5
"\\DPWTECHENG\Plat\ " + !plat_book! + "_" + !plat_page! + ".tif"
is valid in ArcPro 2.5 field calculator, the only difference is adding a space after \Plat\
Problem: We don't want that extra space after \Plat\
any ideas on when this bug will be fixed?
