The backlog entries feature is too risky #3

Open KSanjith opened 4 days ago

KSanjith commented 4 days ago

Details: The ability to backlog recurrance entries if an recurring entry is added from a previous date is extremely risky. If a user was to accidentally do so for a past date far back enough, hundreds or even thousands of new entries are added to the list (see screenshot). The only way to rectify this would be to manually enter the save file and manually delete those hundreds or thousands of lines.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. `add income 100 paycheck /1999-01-01/ \~daily\~
  2. y
  3. list
  4. You can see over 9000 entries added to the list with no easy way to remove them without deleting them manually from the save file

Team's Response

Dear tester,

The team has discussed and decided to categorize the bug as not in scope. The following are the justifications:

  1. The program has already asked the user for confirmation with the date range to ensure that the user wanted to backlog those entries. Thus, this situation is deemed as a more rare occurrence and the need to implement a delete feature for this situation is considered low priority and postponed to after v2.1.
