Additional alias names of custom emojis not accepted anymore

[frdmn]

Description:

According to our docs, it should be possible to add multiple alias names to custom emojis, separated by space character:

Enter a name for your emoji, add space separated list of the aliases for the emoji which can be entered to display the emoji in the chats

This does not seem to be working anymore, the space character will be replaced by a dash instead.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a new custom emoji
2. Give it multiple aliases, e.g. first second
3. Hit save, see how the alias gets transformed into: first_second

Expected behavior:

It should separate the alias input by space, as stated in the docs, and accept multiple alias names.

Actual behavior:

Space character gets replaced by dash. Multiple aliases not possible.

Still broken in 3.7.0. If you use space it fills in an underscore.

(This stat:stale thing because it hasn't been addressed or added to and then automatically closed is why these bugs stay.)

I'm trying to resolve this in RocketChat/Rocket.Chat#23990; may I request a review?

[paulchen]

Today I investigated into several problems regarding custom emojis (cf. https://github.com/RocketChat/feature-requests/issues/807, https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/26980).

In that process, I stumbled upon the problem described in this issue as well which still persists in Rocket.Chat 5.1.4.

Hey, @dudanogueira I want to work on this Issue, Can you assign it to me?

[RavuAlHemio]

I‘ve already proposed a fix in RocketChat/Rocket.Chat#23990; unfortunately, it appears the dev team has not yet come around to reviewing it…

I can't believe it's taken over 2 years...

I can't believe it's taken over 2 years...

Especially since there is more than one PR containing a fix...
