[Contact-Diary] Change names of persons and places when exporting #369

Open jucktnich opened 3 years ago

jucktnich commented 3 years ago

Current Implementation

When you export your contact diary, every entry is exported with the name in the contact diary.

Suggested Enhancement

Ask the user to change the name of the content. The new names are only used for the export not in the diary itself.

Expected Benefits

It's easier for the health authorities to read the data. Example: You call the place grocery store, you know which grocery store you mean, but the health authorities don't, so you rename it into Grocery Store xy, A Street 123, 12345 City.

Internal Tracking ID: EXPOSUREAPP-3034

AFAIK it is possible to change the data after exporting, but it is not possible to do so in the App, see: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist/issues/315#issuecomment-777360289.

Edit:

It is possible to edit entries in the App, see @MikeMcC399's answer under this comment. It is not possible to edit entries In-App for the export only.

@Ein-Tim

but it is not possible to do so in the App,

I'm not sure why you are saying it is not possible to change the Contact Journal data in the app.

The edit function is a little hidden in the three-dot icon. There is a function "Edit People" and "Edit Places" which allows modifying existing entries.

Each entry can have a maximum of 250 characters, so there is plenty of space for a full address.

I understand this request though being more about using a short name for a person or place and being able to link this to a long description of the person or place, which would be a nice idea.

@MikeMcC399

For sure it is possible to edit entries in the app, but I think what @jucktnich is talking about is that you change the entries only for the export and leave them as they were in CWA.

But could be that I misunderstood this.

Edit:

No I did not misunderstand it, OP says:

The new names are only used for the export not in the diary itself.

This is not possible at the moment, do you agree with me @MikeMcC399?

Edit 2:

I understand that my answer above could be misleading, so I've edited it.

@Ein-Tim It's good that you clarified what you meant. Thank you!

Thank you everyone for your input. We have added the suggestion to the main contact diary wishlist.
