It seems this is coming from the back-end, we use this regex (\\w+([\\s_\\-\\.]+\\w+)*)(\/\\w+([\\s_\\-\\.]+\\w+)*)*. Maybe we should add this validation to the front-end as well instead of sending it through to the API.

I don't think preventing quotes is a good idea. Backend regex should be fixed.

Then that is a discussion to have with the rest of the team since we usually don't want to ease regex rules. I will post in the channel.

Holding on posting the job per discussion.

I will post in the channel.

@pecanoro , do you have a link to where you posted?!?!
