That said, it's a low-ish priority because only admins interact with
this field, and they only do it while setting up institutions. So it's
confusing, but at least it's seldom-encountered.

Title:
  "Institution name" field is confusing

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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,
  Jinelle
