Project name VS project code mismatch

[AlexOddbratt]

When creating an ftrack project is there a reason for the defaulted mismatch between the project name and the project code?

If I name a project "APA" the project name is "APA" while the project code becomes "apa", why?
It's quite annoying as we get a mismatch between the project name in the web GUI and the project name API query and we have to manually always remember to rename the project code so that it matches the project name in order to make sure that name and query match.
