Allow users to remove the Organisation ID prefix from account styles created with the account style wizard

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

It would be good to be able to remove the organisation prefix from the beginning of account style names because then all account styles created for the organisation would all be in the same format. Now, any new account styles created have the organisation prefix at the beginning, but account styles created 2 years ago do not have the organisational prefix.

    Hi Amy -- I appreciate your frustration on this topic. However this a necessary requirement for us as we open up the ability to create account styles to a much broader group of stakeholders. Account style names (which are not visible to the end user) must be unique in our system (they act like a primary key for many processes).


    As we grow both in the number of clients using our platform, as well as the number of consultants, partners, and clients creating account styles, the only way for us to ensure the uniqueness of these account style names is to adopt a naming prefix approach that is both specific to an organization (the organization ID) and that cannot be manually changed (possibly leading to naming conflicts).
