Okay, already updated the initial comment

I can reproduce it with your example, but im not sure why someone should use blank spaces as field. Please describe your usecase and why we should support blank spaces.

I was initially using the table header content as field, like in the following example, and I noticed the select would not open on the columns with more-than-1-word headers. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59994125/bootstrap-table-not-showing-some-filters

I later understood the problem was with the blank space in the data-field. I used a dictionary associating data-fields without blank spaces to column headers to solve the problem.

I would say it would avoid some trouble to the users to add in the description of the table filter control that the data-field column option must be defined for all the columns to be filters, and that it can't include blank space.

Supporting blank spaces would allow to use same value for columns headers and data-field option.

I guess we could implement that the bootstrap-table convert (normalize and denormalize) the data-fields.
