Expected Result:

Based on the user guide, it should be entered in the specific order.

Comments:

The acceptance criteria for the find command should include validation against wrong order to prevent unintended behaviour.

Team's Response

The find command is made in such a way that users are able to find any past inputs as long as it matches the relevant fields with /t being a compulsory field. And hence. The suggestion of following the specific format for the find command is just to follow the previous commands to ensure that users will not be confused.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

Reason for disagreement: I believe maintaining a consistent order for commands is less confusing for users. If the order of the command is merely a suggestion, users might assume they can input any format for other commands, potentially leading to more confusion. It also contradicts with their user guide as they say the fields 'should be in the specified order'. As an illustrative example on why it could confuse the user with other commands, I swapped the parameters for /cat and /t in the Add Command, and it still accepted the input, even though the 'cat' command is supposed to accept only three inputs: food, transport, and utilities, as outlined in the program and user guide.

From this screenshot, you can see that I have input the cat and type wrongly, as cat is only supposed to accept either food, transport, or utilities.

This is in their user guide:

While I understand that the Add Command is a separate issue, the main concern remains that allowing random orders can increase user confusion. Users may inadvertently enter the wrong command and still succeed, undermining the clarity and consistency of the system. Thus, I believe this is still a functionality bug.
