Console Name Id Auto ConversionConsole

Name to ID auto-conversion updates

Better algorithm for converting an entity name to an ID

When you are creating a new entity in Nextmv Console, an ID is automatically generated based on the name. Before, if your name included a period (e.g. v1.1.2), the period would be converted to a hyphen which would lead to indecorous IDs like v1-1-2.

This auto-convert function has been updated to allow periods so now your IDs will better reflect standard naming practices. And you can always change the ID of an entity, it does not have to be based on the name.
