As a user, I want to be saved from making mistakes during my data collection so that I have a valid result afterwards.

  Acception Criteria

• [ ] Emergency notification appearing if the user tries to enter a Niskasten ID which already exists
• [ ] user cannot process when entering doubled data for Nistkasten ID

Hi Gesa! I would suggest that you also address the following points in your story:

• How is the alert box closed?
• Is it just a message that can be ignored or is there still functionality that prevents the user from entering it?

I'm excited to see how your story continues!

Hi @kai-franke, thank you for your input! I changed the user story a bit, but I didn't get as specific as you asked, because I'm not sure yet how to implement this and which consequences and possible problems this may cause.

Now I want an emergency notification appearing if the user tries to enter a Nistkasten ID which already exists – maybe it's not even a message, I'm not sure yet. Maybe it disappears, when the user changes his input. Do you think it is still neccessary to define it in this story?

I think the most important thing is that your acceptance criteria are specific enough and I feel those are appropriate for this feature.

About the tasks: At some point you will have to deal with the specific ways to implement it, so this could be in the design phase now. 😉 But I think it's okay for such a small feature if it's not planned in detail.

I would say, the way you describe it, is the perfect way, Kai. :ok_hand: It is definitely easier later, if I could just do the predefined tasks step by step. For me the first challenge in this user story is how to find out if a nesting box number already exists. Hmmm, I guess then, this is the very first task: find out if a nesting box number already exists.
