Feedback; incorrect character edit for YouTube names

Feedback ...

YouTube allows content creators to have page names which are unique to them (as opposed to the randomly generated page names). Mine is "@THEScytheBearer". However, the edits for valid characters on the profile update disallows this name because it "Contains invalid characters". Can this be remediated?

Thanks for pointing that out. Somehow the default YouTube profile field doesn't accept the handle although it's set to allow any characters. I created a new YouTube profile field and this did the trick. The field only works when the complete link to the channel is inserted into the field to support both default channel links (the randomly generated ones) and handle links (like https://youtube.com/@YourHandleName).

I moved the topic to the Feedback & Suggestions subforum which I repositioned to a more prominent location.
