Edit copy as table blank column

When we do an edit copy as table there is always a blank column at the beginning. What is this for? Can I get rid of it? I have tried taking off categorization, not showing the selection column, taking off sorting and we still get that column.

here is one from this db…

Ok that makes sense and where i am copying it wouldn’t be able to link so I don’t see it. BUT there is still a blank between the link and the rest of the data in the table. Why is that? Maybe that is what I am seeing when I paste into something that can not link to notes.
