📌 Issue Title / Suggestion Summary

Group creation form allows submitting empty or invalid group name

📝 Detailed Description

While creating a new group, users can submit the form without entering a group name, which leads to either broken UI or invalid data saved in the backend.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Go to the "Create Group" screen.
• Leave the group name empty.
• Click on "Create".

Expected Behavior:
The form should block submission and show an error message like “Group name is required.”

Actual Behavior:
The form gets submitted or fails silently.

🛠️ Proposed Solution / Steps to Reproduce

Add frontend validation using a required check and possibly minimum length validation.
