Cannot input '/' in the name field, but many legal names have 's/o' have in them

[nus-pe-bot]

The name field does not allow any special characters, which is nice, but it should allow / as a lot of names contain / in them.

For example - Abdul s/o Muhammad

this can cause inconvenience for Malay people as a lot of their names have 's/o' or 'd/o' in them.

This is the relevant screenshot attached -

Just this one step is required to reproduce the above screenshot :

1. Input in command box - ac name/Panav s/o dua

You can see if it's possible to lift this restriction as that would help Malay people!

Team's Response

The error message is correct as / is a special character and therefore not included in alphanumeric characters and spaces. This is instead a feature flaw as names with / in them will not be allowed as valid inputs.

Duplicate status (if any):
