Increase length of name_abbreviation in "Create new group"

[schatzsc]

When selecting My Groups -> Create new group in the field Name abbreviation there is a restriction to 2-5 characters. Attempts to enter longer acronyms (German: "Sigel") result in an error message:

name_abbreviation has to be 2 to 5 characters long

This can cause problems, as in our institute for example the NMR department uses by standard acronyms of the format AKX-YZ where X is the first letter of the family name of the PI and YZ are the initials of the corresponding group member. There are also other schemes which are even longer, as the YZ "name space" might easily run out of characters with very large groups.

As these schemes have been in place for a long time it will be very difficult to change them, especially when introducing an ELN institute-wide is already a major disturbance not necessarily appreciated by all long-term staff.

Is it possible to allow a couple of more characters, say 6-8???

This should be already possible; more documentation on how to set this is needed.
