Title:
Can't choose group shortname that is different from group name
Status in Mahara:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Only affects master 16.10 as it's related to new functionality
When I try to upload the attached CSV file, I get error messages along
the lines of the following on master:
group_create: The supplied shortname 'open' is already taken. This
shortname 'openmembershipgroup' is available.
This is a double problem:
1. The group shortname "open" does not yet exist as it's an empty Mahara site.
2. I should be able to choose my own shortnames (as long as they really haven't been taken) no matter what the actual group name is.
Currently, the shortname is just the groupname without capital letters
and spaces. Nobody would set that up without being given instructions.
Institutions might choose to use course shortnames as group shortnames
but have the group titles display something entirely differently, e.g.
the actual title of the course.
