Team's Response

Cannot be reproduced. After checking in 10 people as shown in the screenshot, the command checkin i/132D n/Test p/12345678 does not show any error message.

However, we suspect that it is caused by the clear command mentioned in #676.

The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

Cannot checkin after clearing

Cannot checkin after Clearing, based on UG, it seems to mean clear everything, but program still keeps track of the past id's, which might be confusing.

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

clear command only clears tracking list and not the log file as stated in the FAQ section of the UG:

Therefore, checking in checkin i/001D n/Tom p/12345678 will lead to an error as the person with the same ID with a different name exists in the log file. However, we recognise that we were not clear about the clear command in the UG. Therefore we accept it as a Low severity of documentation bug.
