> Please add a description to the system name, such as the following: "alphanumeric, '-', and '_'; max 20 chars" (or whatever the actual restriction is). This would help eliminate trial and error when choosing a system name, or at least keep the trial and error in the user's brain.


Done, thank you!

This place will do, but generally, we expect such reports in our Support tracker.

In my latest project submission, I had to try three times for a valid system name. On the project registration page, the description for the Short/system name is simply "(used in URLs, mailing lists names, etc.)". This does not describe what is actually allowed for the system name.

Please add a description to the system name, such as the following: "alphanumeric, '-', and '_'; max 20 chars" (or whatever the actual restriction is). This would help eliminate trial and error when choosing a system name, or at least keep the trial and error in the user's brain.

Thanks. (Also, is this the right place to report this? Sorry if it's not.)
