The 'Original' Bug

Application is unable to start once there is an issue with loading a corrupted storage file

Using the storage file from the previous issue, the application is not able to run at all until I remove the storage.txt file completely.

After removing the storage folder.

I am able to start the program

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

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

Thanks for finding this bug, it was due to corrupted the storage file. However, I will reduce the severity to medium since editing the storage file is not common among most users, since High is only for very common issue, and the missing date parameter can only be empty by manually editing storage file. As such, this mostly affects advanced users only.

## :question: Issue severity Team chose [`severity.Medium`] Originally [`severity.High`] - [x] I disagree **Reason for disagreement:** I feel that this is high severity issue as the point of your application is for storing data for librarians and if the storage component does not work as intended, your application is technically not usable.
