Scheduling a meeting with yourself causes the meeting to disappear after exiting the app

[bernardboey]

Scheduling a meeting with yourself causes the meeting to disappear after exiting the app and reloading. This a legitimate use case because the user might want to schedule a meeting with themselves to remind themselves of some event that only involves themselves.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login as admin (e.g. login admin /pw password /as admin)
2. Schedule a meeting with yourself (e.g. schedule Test Meeting /with admin)
3. Check meetings (meetings)
4. Exit the program (exit)
5. Reload the program
6. Login as the same user
7. Check meetings (meetings)

Note: the same thing happens if you schedule a meeting with someone else together with yourself (e.g. schedule Test Meeting /with user, admin). This is a possible scenario that might happen if users accidentally typed in their name when scheduling a meeting.

Expected:

Meeting should still exist.

Actual:

Meeting disappears

Scheduling a meeting with yourself causes unexpected output

Scheduling a meeting with yourself causes unexpected output

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login as admin (e.g. login admin /pw password /as admin)
2. Schedule a meeting with yourself (e.g. schedule Test Meeting /with admin).

Note: the same thing happens if you schedule a meeting with someone else together with yourself (e.g. schedule Test Meeting /with user, admin). This is a possible scenario that might happen if users accidentally typed in their name when scheduling a meeting.

Expected:

Either don't allow scheduling a meeting with yourself, or allow it but ensure that the output is correct.

Actual:

Scheduling a meeting with yourself is allowed, but the attendees is listed as adminadmin, even though the user's name is admin. The name seems to have concatenated with itself.

:question: Issue severity

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

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: This issue does not merely cause a minor inconvenience. This issue causes meetings to disappear, which has disastrous consequences. It is also not necessarily a rare occurrence, because the user might want to schedule a meeting with themselves. Or even if they know that the app is not supposed to support scheduling meetings with themselves, they may accidentally input their username when scheduling a meeting with other people (that includes themselves).
