Docs - product feedback: Allowed charachters in group names
From https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/#create-a-new-group:
- The Group name will populate the path automatically. Optionally, you can change it. This is the name that will me displayed in the group views.
The Group name does not have any prohibited characters, but one get this error, when doing so (trying a '('):
The form contains the following error:
- Name can contain only letters, digits, '_', '.', dash and space.
As there is a restricted set of characters for the Group URL:
- Set the Group URL which will be the namespace under which your projects will be hosted (path can contain only letters, digits, underscores, dashes and dots; it cannot start with dashes or end in dot).
The error may be unintentional, or the documentation should mention the restricted character set also for the Group name.
