:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
The name field only allows alphanumeric characters and spaces, which means that TAs are not able to include characters that may be in the government name of students.
For example:
udhaya s/o shantan xin en, trinahuang wei'enEven though the DG mentioned a planned enhancement of using matric number as the unique identifier, this still does not solve the problem of the name field being too restrictive.
Arguably, the severity of this FeatureFlaw could be pushed to medium because the users who are TAs should be able to record the student's official name as in NRIC which are allowed to have special characters.
