Overzealous input validation for remark

[adam-ky]

Perhaps can include a good reason to users why remarks can only be 52 characters long?

Team's Response

As a remark is conventionally not meant to be in big paragraphs or full sentences, we gave the limit of 52 characters, also to make it present nicer on the GUI (and not truncated in the event of an overflow)

It would be unlikely that a TA would have to add so much details in the remark field, or could do so in point form.

Hence we accept the bug but propose a lower severity.

:question: Issue severity

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

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Let's first discuss why this isn't a severity.VeryLow issue: it's not simply a cosmetic issue.

Next, I suggest the severity either be Low or Medium because while your response is completely valid, it is subjective.

For example,

• "As a remark is conventionally not meant to be in big paragraphs or full sentences" - the definition of remark never had connotations of being in short sentences/point form. A remark is simply a comment and it is completely up to the user to how long they want it to be.

• "It would be unlikely that a TA would have to add so much details" - this opinion is from your perspective, making it subjective. I personally felt this was an issue cause I would like to add longer remarks if I have to.

Also, I still don't understand where the number 52 came from, but nonetheless, you have a point to prevent users from typing too much, such as to maintain visual consistency in GUI.

To conclude for this issue, let's go with either severity.Low or severity.Medium :)
