Problem

Both the instructions for filtering all appointments as well as upcoming appointments omit the space after the flag, so clinic employees will face problems when they follow the correction in the error message.

Team's Response

This is a cosmetic issue as the User Guide provided examples. The user will also be notified when they execute the actual command if they typed appt -fp/... without the space.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

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

Reason for disagreement: Error messages with incorrect instructions aren't 'cosmetic' issues. If users see conflicting instructions from the User Guide and the error messages, they may choose to go with the error message due to its presence in the app itself. The User Guide may (in their minds) be for an outdated version of the app, but the error message would seem to contain the most updated instructions. Many users might even have a workflow of getting the template for command from the error message rather than the User Guide to avoid having two windows open at the same time. This would cause problems for such users.
