Duplicate gym workout stations should not be allowed

[damiwee]

Users are allowed to add duplicate gym stations currently. A user keying in the same workout / station is most likely a human error as he may have forgotten that he has already keyed it in.

Suggestion: Perhaps the app can catch it.

Refer to the screenshot for reproducing the feature flaw:

Team's Response

There are some instances of duplicate stations being used, such as supersets or cardio circuits, and it does not affect the general usage of the application. However, a warning can be listed.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

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

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Within the boundaries of legitimate and reasonable use cases, it is not uncommon for users to forget what they have already keyed in and key in the same thing again, particularly in a case like this where the feature is asking for a chain of consecutive inputs. An example of keying in duplicates accidentally could be: keying in A, B, C, then A again.

Having to finish inputting the rest of the exercises before being allowed to edit it or having to exit and restart is inconvenient if a duplicate has been added on mistake, especially so if the user has a long list of exercises. While it is possible that the user may actually have duplicate workout stations as stated in the dev team response, it is better to give a warning when duplicate is found and only allow the user to continue adding the duplicate after their approval/ acknowledgement.
