SharePoint Online Document Library Name and Spaces
There seems to be an issue with inputting spaces when creating a new document library. For example, if you want to put a space in between the capitalized letters, it will not let you - DocumentLibrar...
The issue also applies to the Description field, which is weird. My guess is that the Title tries to restrict spaces for the reason Terry_Lazer gave, but the restrictions were also applied to the Description field, which feels like an accident.
Easier workaround
- Type a character into the input box
- Move your cursor before the character
- Type in your Title/Description (you can now add spaces if you want)
- When you're done, delete the extra character
It's definitely a bug.
From what I've read on the SharePoint reddit forum:

I've tried it on another tenant and the spaces work in both the Title and the Description. The one where it works is an E5 tenant vs where it doesn't work, an E3 tenant. You might have to pay extra for the spaces... 😛 joking.
