Description

Using the REST API, it is not possible to set the "name" attribute for a new organization. It will be set to default value "string".

How to reproduce:

have an admin account
Use the swagger API at https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger#/admin/adminCreateOrg to generate a request for a new organization (replace with non-demo-system)
- fill in values of the payload
- secondary bug: leave field "user" as default value "string" otherwise you get an exception that the user already exists
add user credentials to CURL call for gitea account
run command
a new organization is created, but the name field is set to value "string"

Could you please show me your request parameters? I guess you might have mixed up the two "username"s.

Gitea version: 1.18.3
Can no longer reproduce the issue myself.

It would help the understanding of the API if the documentation references "username" in the payload as "the name of the new organisation".

Closing issue.
