[PE-D][Tester E] Support for Valid Name Formats #142

Closed soc-pe-bot closed 6 months ago

soc-pe-bot commented 6 months ago

SCR-20240405-oxge.png

Description

The current name validation rules within the application do not accommodate cultural naming conventions, such as 's/o' (son of), resulting in valid names being erroneously flagged as invalid. This limitation affects users with such naming formats, preventing them from entering their names as they are commonly used and recognized. An example of such an entry, "Krishnan s/o helloworld", is rejected based on the application's guideline that names should contain only alphanumeric characters and spaces.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Attempt to add a name with a cultural naming convention, such as "Krishnan s/o helloworld", into the application.
  2. Note the validation response that the entry is not accepted.

Expected Behaviour

The application should allow for the inclusion of cultural naming conventions within names, recognizing and validating entries like "Krishnan s/o helloworld" as plausible and correct.

As connectify is a personal contact book it is not required for the user to input the exact legal name of a contact. They can use other workarounds such as ommitting the '/' character in 'S/O' and inputing the name using 'SO' instead
