Description
Description:
When attempting to create a collection with an alias consisting only of numbers (e.g., 888), the API returns a technical error message:
"Identifier is not valid. Valid characters are a-Z, 0-9, '_', and '-'."
This message is misleading to the end user because it suggests that numbers are allowed, but in reality, an alias must contain at least one letter.
Proposed Fix:
Update backend validation logic to return a clearer message, e.g.:
"Invalid alias. Use letters (A–Z, a–z), numbers (0–9), underscores (_), or hyphens (-), and include at least one letter."
Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to API endpoint for creating a Dataverse collection.
- Set alias to a numeric-only string (e.g., 888).
- Observe returned error message.
Expected Result:
A user-friendly and accurate error message explaining that numeric-only aliases are not allowed.
