Public bug reported:

Hi,

When I log in as an Admin and follow: Administation -> Institutions ->
Add institution. Then I fill in Institution name with "Fantastic name"
and I fill in Institution display name with the same then I  try saving
the institution. I get an ambiguous error not stating why the names
haven't been accecpted.

I can see that there is an information icon next to it, and I could
click that for more information to  problem solve. However if the error
message stated that the Institution name had to be a single word and the
curser directed them back to the box to re type it in it would be better
practice .

Thanks,
