BUG: Twine Visitor Site - Admin Activity Name field - Max Length

[mandsmandsmands]

Application: Visitor Site
Component: Admin > Activities
Version: Prod
OS: Win10
Device: Laptop
Browsers: Chrome, MS Edge
User Account: Admin

Steps to recreate:

1. Log in as Admin and go to Activities
2. Enter a hugely long Activity name to add and select Category
3. Click Add
   Actual result: You are able to submit a hugely long Activity name

Expected result: A hugely long full name should not be allowed. Limit should be set to be ??X?? characters.
Up for discussion as this hasn't been defined anywhere.

The impact of this comes out where the Activity will be displayed.

1. On the Activity page, where admin add and edits the days the activity is on.
2. It appears where the Visitor chooses which activity they are going to partake in, after logging in.
3. It also appears in the Admin> Visits data

My suggestion is 30 character limit i.e. "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234"
and if spaces exist "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWXYZ123"
This should cover the majority of Activities and if needed activities could be abbreviated.

@mandsmandsmands have you tested this max character limit with faux copy. The boxes should readjust size. I wonder whether it is not happening here because there are no spaces in the activity name.

@astroash

no spaces in the activity name.

yep that is the problem.

Just done with copy and adjusts

I still believe that the system should restrict the amount of input allowed.

Truncate how text is shown in boxes, adding ellipses.
