Band names which differ by a space cannot be added

[wjayee]

When i run addb n/hello then addb n/hel lo, it says its a duplicate even though i can add band with spaces in their names. In that case, it should not be considered as a duplication

Team's Response

This is an expected behaviour of our app. In the UG add band feature description, it is stated:

Hence, we need the new band name to contain a unique sequence of alphanumeric characters in order to successfully add it to the database. By definition, "alphanumeric" includes letters and digits only but does not include whitespace. Hence in your example shown above, two sequences of alphanumeric characters are the same h-e-l-l-o, and our app, regrettably, disallow this.

However, it is true that the current explanation of unique may not be straightforward enough for our users, hence we accept it as "NotInScope` and will try to do a better job at explaining it in future iterations.
