Bug with characters in aliases

[AnnaTornroth-NLTG]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

13.9.2

Bug summary

When you go to a document type and change the alias by clicking on the padlock, you can enter a text string with special characters, e.g. hyphens, you can lock the padlock again and click Save.
When we then refresh the page, the added special characters have been cleared.
It is misleading that it is possible to save and receive a message that the save was successful, when the inserted alias has in fact not been saved as entered.
It would be helpful to have a validation either directly when entering illegal characters in the alias field or at the latest when clicking the Save button.
The message could inform that the string contains illegal characters and cannot be saved, or that illegal characters will be cleared when saving.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Create a document type, click on the padlock and add a "-" to the alias. Save and refresh the page.
The "-" is gone.

Hi there @AnnaTornroth-NLTG!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Hey @AnnaTornroth-NLTG , that might be a good idea, I still see it is working like that on v16 now, so I'll convert this issue to discussion.
