It can be classified as low, as UG has already covered this in the Q&A section.
Below is the specific copy pasted Q&A from the UG.
Q: When adding an Event task, I entered add,1,E,Event 1 to add an event on the first day of the month, but after that, I was prompted to enter the start date again. Why is that? A: Not to worry! Our program registers the start date as the date you keyed into the original command, i.e. the first day of the month. The subsequent prompt for the start date is for formatting purposes and will not affect the actual date of the event.
Team chose [severity.Low
]
Originally [severity.Medium
]
Reason for disagreement: I believe the developer team misunderstood the issue that I was raising. This issue is not about being prompted again for the start date.
The point I am raising is the necessity and logic (not code-wise but product-wise) of the add event feature of the program. If the user is allowed to enter any other start date (not within a particular week or month) when he/she is shown that particular week or month, what is the point of showing that week or month?
I am questioning the usefulness of this feature and the design choice. It does not seem to make sense to me for example, within a week, if I entered a start date of an event not within that week and according to the format of the command, I entered in one of the days of the week. Then, it shows up on the corresponding day of that week, which is correct behavior, but what is the point of marking out the day that I add the event?
That is what confuses me about the feature.
Within the week view, I can specify that I wish to add an event to day "15". However, I can specify the start and end date of this event to be completely unrelated to the day "15/04/2024", as I have done above when I used a start date "01/12/2000" and end date "02/12/2000". The event appears on the day "15/04/2024", so what is the purpose of adding the event if it is not marked on the relevant day or constrains user input to the days of the displayed week?
