Team's Response

The number provided in [#00001] is the indexing of the current displayed list of tasks and does not relate to the previously shown list from the list command.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Understand that the developers intended for the number provided in [#00001] to be the indexing of the currently displayed list of tasks and does not relate to the previously shown list from the list command.

Since it is such the case, it further emphasizes this as a feature flaw as it can be very misleading to users.

An experienced programmer can mistake the index for the previous index, let alone non-programming users, who can get mixed up and perplexed when they see a

[2][ID:0003]

At the top, then see

[1][ID:0003] at the bottom

They might think that the program had some issues or they had messed up the program themselves.

While it was mentioned in the UG, the same number format was used in so many ways, which can confuse users. Precisely as such, it is a feature flaw. There are so many other ways to index a list, such as alphabets, etc, but developers insist on using 00001, 00002, for example, amid an already long and convoluting UG and in a program with overloaded features in the CLI context.

As such, the developer's response further confirms this to be considered a feature flaw.
