Auto-Truncate File Names in Import
N
Novel Toucan
When uploading a list to OpenField, if the list name is longer than 80 characters, the user sees an error message asking them to reduce the number of characters and the list is not loaded. This error handling causes unnecessary friction in the list import process - especially for users trying to upload multiple lists in a short period of time.
A graceful failure could be for the file name to be cut down to 80 characters quietly by the importer and for the new list name with cut characters to show in the list name in the preview.
This handling would improve user experience by not stopping the user's import and not forcing the user to return to their list, rename the list, and attempt a new load.
