Team name length longer than 15 characters
we have teams with names like infrastructure engineering - 26 chars. we will struggle to fit in 15. ok for the url but poor for finding them

Even if it takes some UI modification, it would be well worth it to have team names longer than 15 characters. Note that I can't create a team with the name "Machine Learning" at my company. The character limitation leads to lots of uncomfortable acronyms and makes it confusing for users to find teams.

We're got a suggestion about adding another field which is the "Long team name", this would allow users to enter long team names that can go upto 50 characters.
So there will be 2 fields, one would be the normal "Team name" and the other one would be the "Long team name" field.
The long team name field will be used on the Teams selection page if it has a value otherwise the normal team name field will be used.
If we allow extra characters in the default Team name field then our current UI won't accommodate that in the app (Dropdown menu, LHS header). And people who casually fill out a longer name might notice later on that the UI actually doesn't support it and the long team name gets truncated etc.
