Issue

An MMS variable can only have the combinations of the following data

("A"|"a"|"B"|"b"|"C"|"c"|"D"|"d"|"E"|"e"|"F"|"f"|"G"|"g"|"H"|"h"|"I"|"i"|"J"|"j"|"K"|"k"|"L"|"l"|"M"|"m"|"N"|"n"|"O"|"o"|"P"|"p""|"Q"|"q"|"R"|"r"|"S"|"s"|"T"|"t"|"U"|"u"|"V"|"v"|"W"|"w"|"X"|"x"|"Y"|"y"|"Z"|"z"|"$"|"_"|"0"|"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6"|"7"|"8"|"9")

Validation should be provided in user defined fields like 'prefix' for LN so that the letters/symbols which are not allowed as per MMS standard can be prevented (eg: >,< etc).

Proposal

The description need to be provided on the naming conventions used for user defined fields like prefixes and schema should also accomodate (currently 'prefix' is treated as 'normalizedString') the same.
