The discussion revolves around a minor UX bug in the invite modal. nathank points out that the “Set Password” field has a hint reading “optional” despite being mandatory. He suggests making the modal consistent with the signup modal by removing “optional” from the field description and using the same title and text box size.
techAPJ clarifies that the “Password” field is indeed optional on the “accept invites” page, which is why “optional” is mentioned in the field description. However, they agree with nathank on using the same title.
techAPJ later confirms that the issues raised by nathank have been addressed. The title has been changed and the text box size has been fixed via GitHub commits and GitHub commits.
This is a minor UX bug.
In an invite, the “Set Password” currently has a hint after it which reads:
This is confusing, as while the length is ‘optional’, the field is mandatory.
It is governed by js.invites.optional_description.
In contrast, the signup modal omits ‘optional’:
I think that we should make these consistent, with the same title (i.e. ‘Password’), the same text box size (is too short in the invites), and the same text ('i.e. ‘at least x characters’) - without the ‘optional’.
Wait so this happens when you accept the invite?
Yes - when a user clicks on a multi-use link. Haven’t tested it on a ‘normal’ invite.
The “Password” field is optional on “accept invites” page and that is why we mention “optional” in field description.
This is a good suggestion. Done via:
