Restriction of names

[tayruxin]

Currently, the application restricts the input of names to alphanumeric characters only. This limitation poses an issue for individuals with names that include special characters, such as X Æ A-12 (considered rare) or Ravi S/O Ramasamy (common), as the application does not permit the entry of these valid names. To foster a more inclusive user experience, perhaps the team can allow for a broader range of characters, acknowledging the diversity of names across various cultures.

Team's Response

This limitation is already mentioned in the UG under the add-friend command section.

However, we understand the concern that this limitation may reduce the usability of our application for certain groups of individuals. We would definitely consider this in the next iteration however, for this iteration, we have clearly stated the limitations of our application and hence, this specific functionality would not be delivered during iteration v1.4. Hence, we have changed it to OutOfScope.
