When creating a provisioner, gsh template, daemon job, etc., the value for the configId is checked for syntax. It only allows /^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/, which is alphanumeric or underscore. Was there any technical reason why dashes are disallowed? They are perfectly legal in Java property keys. It's a confusion for users since they usually assume dashes are ok, until they try to save and get the error.
