Erroneous Duplicate Error for Entry that is not a duplicate

[juliussneezer04]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add student with certain name to some Form class
2. Add student with same name to different Form class (different involvement too)
3. Error

Expected: To be able to add student with same name to different class/involvement, as that is a valid query

Actual: Error received

Team's Response

This is the intended feature. If you only change the form class and involvement, they have the same name and address, and we consider those students duplicate. This is mentioned in the UG. If a student has the same name and address, it is the same student (ie duplicate). Hence this is the intended behaviour for the app to show that error message.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: * Bug should be revised from Functionality to FeatureFlaw

• Although unlikely (hence Low severity is accepted), it is possible that students do not feel comfortable/it necessary to share their complete address, and might only share their block number, neighbourhood.
• This creates a bug wherein students with the same name and neighbourhood/block are erroneously flagged as duplicates.
• A more unique identifier (such as combining Phone Number) might be helpful.
