1.7 Poor message if try to add duplicate user
We happen to use 2 character login names (in hindsight probably a poor decision).
Today tried to add in new user with name 'dl' - but there was a (deactivated) user already in the system with this name. The error message is:
It was only when I looked at the openvpms log file that I could see '..attempt to add duplicate .. dl'
I think that we need to explicit tell the user that they are attempting to add a new user with a login name that is already in use.

This is probably an instance of https://openvpms.atlassian.net/browse/OVPMS-1462

'probably' - I would say an exact duplicate.
I have tweaked the 1.7 and 1.8 CSH text to now read as follows:
I must admit that I do not want the priority of fixing 1462 - I am certain that there are far more critical things to do.
However, that brings up the question of 'known problems'. Should we have a link to 'Known Problems in 1.7' that uses the same sort of Jira filter that you built to show the 1.7.1 fixes. I had a quick play with the search facility - two problems: some problems are classed as 'improvements' - 1462 is; and I am not sure that I would have recognised the problem as matching 1462's summary 'Check for unique user name before saving users'.
Hence I suspect that a known problems list would not be as useful as it might be.
