Add ability to add team name to +Team wizard

Presently when you use the +Team wizard, if someone does not change their team name it can be confusing for employers and educators and overall does not look as nice when demoing. Many partners prefer the wizard over the import, so the ability to add a team name or first and last names would be incredibly helpful.

Stephen Tredger We've spoken about this one before, but I just want to confirm options here. Currently:

In team creation wizard, if team size=1, name is not a field the user fills.
If the user exists already, team name = user name. If the user does not already exist, team name is guessed from learner email.

Old behaviour:

In team size =1, team name always shows user name. This was removed because it wasn't working well/caused issues.

Solution options:

Have the user set the name in the wizard even for team size=1
Change nothing but let users edit team name when team size=1
When a user sets their name and DoB following import of their account, update any existing teams of 1 the user is a member of to use their name.

Is #3 an option or just as problematic as the old behaviour? If we don't go #3 I'll consider 1 or 2.

Thanks!

Emily Masching: Yea we used to do both calculate the team name on the fly and have a stored team name. We moved away from calculating on the fly as its really inefficient for data loading (just to display the team name we would load every team member). This lead to team sizes of 1 being in an odd spot, and since we wanted to keep the flow of inviting with a bunch of emails we have to guess the name from an email if its not provided. We can do 3, its not super clean, but also not terrible. We tried 1 but I think it was vetoed in the past as it wasn't very user friendly. I think 2 is already a thing? I thought i changed that a while back as this was the compromise we came to

Stephen Tredger Actually you're right, we do already have #2 in place. I'll put #3 in the backlog but it's not particularly high priority.

Crystal Wright this is for the case when team size is individual, and the user email is not in a format like firstname.lastname@domain.com, right? If team size >1, team name exists. If team size = 1, the team name is parsed from the email address, which doesn't work in all cases. If you can send me an example from an expereince where team names don't look as they should, I'll take a second look.

Crystal Wright just checking back on this one.

Emily Masching Apologies, workload is nuts these last couple weeks and this slipped through. This is for team size of 1 - it does parse the email, but not everyone uses an email where its their name like in university so it can look strange
