Inconsistent use of the date format between the `meal_add` and `log`

[farissirraj]

In the meal_add command, the date was accepted in the form of a {“yyyy/M/d”, “d/M/yyyy”, “yyyy-M-d”, “d-M-yyyy”}.

However for the logging, it is asking the user to enter the MONTH and DAY field separately. This would make the user break his/her flow of thought in the usage of the app as they would be more accustomed with using it one way which is consistent throughout the entire application.

Team's Response

Thank you for pointing out this inconsistency when it comes to our two commands for two different aspects of our program. We have decided to move this to severity.Low as we believe that both the help command as well as the UG clearly highlight the exact way that a user should be using the corresponding log and meal_add commands. However, this isn't to say that we have completely dismissed this issue, as the point that the user brings up about this inconsistency being able to break the flow of thought is definitely something that should be addressed. Nonetheless, we believe that the severity of this issue should not have been of severity.Medium, but it is still something that we have acknowledged as faulty in our design.
