Badge name and real name #222

Open ianlayton opened 6 years ago

ianlayton commented 6 years ago

Quite a few badges had to be reprinted because of their legal name appearing into the badge printed name field. It could be user error, but I'm wondering if it might be something going on with auto complete that people aren't catching.

Two possible solutions:

  1. Rename the badge name field to remove the "name" part so auto completes don't trip over it
  2. Add a sanity check to ask a person to confirm a badge name if their last name appears in the badge name field

I can partially confirm that autocomplete DOES fill in the badge name field if the legal name field is inactive (e.g. if the "above name" checkbox is checked). However, in my brief testing, autocomplete does not override an existing badge name entry. Thus, at worst autocomplete may lead to someone overlooking the badge name field.

I agree with your sanity check suggestion, though I would expand it to any single-word overlap between the badge name field and the first/last name OR legal name fields. Sure, you may warn "Billy Bob" that his badge name of "Bouncy Billy" has overlap, but I think that's an acceptable compromise.

There's actually an email in the system that can be sent out to folks to remind them to set their printed badge name to what they want before the printed badge deadline. We'd have to look at it to see if it needs text changes or anything but it should be pretty trivial to set it up for MFF.

@fursuit69 and QA please see if this is still a thing.
