Group names that are too long #4397

Open nus-pe-bot opened 2 years ago

Similar issue: Group names that are too long will expand the box.

Expected: Limit the character length Actual: Box size increases as to compromise for the long input

Team's Response

It is an intentional part of the design to have the boxes expand if the content goes further than one page. Otherwise, the user would never be able to see the all of the student's groups if the student is assigned to many groups.

It would be unrealistic to limit the user's input, since the user should be able to name groups as he pleases.

We cannot cut off group name displayed (e.g. into Study Session Ev...) because otherwise users cannot differentiate between the two groups

It is also unrealistic for our target audience (Professors of CS1101S) to create groups with such long names.
