It is common for some people's names to include special characters such as - and '. Therefore, the user is unable to specify the exact name of the contact.

Team's Response

It is a feature flaw and not a functionality bug because it works as expected, the error message specifies that the name must be alphanumeric.

It is a low severity bug as it only causes minor inconvenience. The user can still add the name, just without the special character.

This situation will only happen to a user when they first try to add a contact name with a non-alphanumeric character. After the first time, they would know that the name parameter only accepts alphanumeric inputs, hence, they would add names without any special characters and it would not be a recurring issue to the user.
