When I entered integer "2" for the task type and task description, the program throws an exception and crashes.

Team's Response

This can only be replicated in the month view.

However we believe that this should be "Medium" severity as it only occurs in that specific view (Month) and if the user does not follow according to the user guide given.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Medium] Originally [severity.High]

Reason for disagreement: Once again, the developer team cannot expect the user to follow the user guide exactly.

Let us assume that the user does not try to break the program but enters in input as normally as he/she could.

We still cannot ignore the fact that typos can occur. This is especially prominent because this is a CLI application and the target users are expected to be fast typists. When people are typing fast, the chances for errors can increase. Moreover, even the best typists are human and typos are bound to occur.

An erroneous input would send the program crashing, and this should have been an easy case for the team to consider and guard against, hence I disagree that the severity of this bug is a "medium" and should remain as "high".
