During the boundary testing of the name creation functionality, it was observed that the system allows the creation of names exceeding the defined limit. Specifically, a name with a total of 143 characters was successfully created, which violates the expected behavior of limiting names to a maximum of 15 characters.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Login
  2. Click on link “Course Home”
  3. then, click “Create Course”
  4. Enter/create a valid institution name such as “University of Michigan”
  5. Fill in the rest of the form
  6. Enter a name longer than 15 characters. For example: universityofmichiganuniversityofmichiganuniversityofmichiganuniversityofmichiganuniversityofmichiganunivers
  7. Submit the form

Expected Result:
The system should prevent users from creating names longer than 15 characters and display an appropriate error message indicating that the input exceeds the character limit.

Actual Result:
The system accepted and created a name with 143 characters without any validation errors.

Severity:
High - This issue can lead to data integrity problems and may affect other functionalities relying on name length constraints.

Priority:
Immediate - This bug needs to be addressed as it directly impacts user experience and system reliability.

Environment:

Device: [e.g., Desktop, Mobile]

Browser: [e.g., Chrome Version 130, Firefox Version 132]

OS: [e.g., Windows 11, macOS 13]
