OK, just as a test, I changed it to this..

So, i do NOT want anything with numbers, pluses, exclamation marks,
hashes or amperstands. Forgot to add double spaces..anyway. I guess
there are probably more characters to be excluded.

I was able to store the data element name sans problem.

Might be a work around. That JavaScript library might have license
issues (MIT).

Maybe try server side validation and see where you get.

It's impossible to name a dael, dael-group, dataset, ind... with Unicode characters
(currently can use/borrow TRANSLATE function of dael, dael-group, dataset,... to name them in Unicode characters instead)
