The app allows adding persons with same fields with different names.
add cn/Google n/John Doe p/98765432 e/johnd@example.com a/311, Clementi Ave 2, #02-25 tt/121220221400 i/Birthday: 12 May 2001 s/5000 pl/Java t/friends t/owesMoney pri/2
After this, I only change the name and keep other fields the same.

This still works but might not make sense in real life. Perhaps can mention that in the UG.

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
Thank you for raising this issue. While we acknowledge that not detecting duplicate contacts based on fields other than names can inconvenience some users, supporting this feature is currently not within our scope due to existing project priorities and resource constraints. In the context of job seeking, people such as those from HR can have similar fields, for example, the address can be the company address, the phone can be the company phone, and the email can be a shared email etc. Furthermore, the UG does not mention supporting this feature. Hence, we have labeled this as
NotInScope
. Thank you for your understanding.Items for the Tester to Verify
