[Steps to Reproduce]
edit 1 grad/ 234234[Expected] Expected an error message to be thrown stating that invalid argument supplied or "grad/" is not a valid argument.
[Actual] Generic error message of "Invalid command format!" returned.

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug
[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

To check specifically for wrong prefixes is not trivial and we already have error message for incorrect field input.
