Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a field and text block with dynamic content in it, pulling in a field from a custom post type's field group ('client quote'). I can amend the side padding and margin for this block but I want to reduce the white space top and bottom of the block's content and yet the top / bottom padding seem to be 0px, and yet there is tonnes of white space. The side padding seems to work fine and be amendable/editable.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Just the general info on how to use additional styles in Toolset Blocks - this is working fine for the side padding but not the top/bottom padding.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Single portfolio item pages which you can get to via clicking on an example on the portfolio page.

What is the link to your site?
it's a staging site - happy to send information confidentially.

Hi there

I looked at the front end of your site and located a portfolio post where I can see from the page markup it is using a Fields and Text block.

As you can hopefully see in the screenshot the extra white space appears to be coming from extra p tags and spans that I expect you don't intend to be included.

I recommend when using the Fields and Text block that before saving you switch to the HTML mode so that you can see exactly what markup is being generated, and you can modify as required—including deleting extraneous p tags or similar that may be unwittingly inserted when editing with the Visual tab.

I had a feeling something else had worked it's way in. Can't explain why it never entered my mind to look at the code view - it's obvious. Thanks so much!
