[Bug 1855344] Re: Allow institution short name to be a string containing numbers and alow the string to be minimum 1 char long

 

** Description changed:

  When dealing with external IdPs they can send through the value for
  institution as being an id number, eg '5' rather than a short alpha
  string, eg 'cats'
  
  We should be able to handle this on the Mahara side and treat the
- numeric string like it is just another text string
+ numeric string like it is just another text string.
+ 
+ Currently when you try to make an institution with name = '5' it sets
+ the short name to 'inst' and not '5'
