Editing deadline of task from json #2107

Open nus-pe-bot opened 5 years ago

nus-pe-bot commented 5 years ago

When I edit ddl of a task to 9999-12-12, it still gets imported into the app, although it has passed the training planb's end date.

Team's Response

A normal user would not purposedly change a task's end date directly through JSON.

According to Prof Damith's reply on forum,

In the context of the PE, it is OK for an app to not recover from deliberate sabotage attempts by the user. But the app should at least fail gracefully for potential user mistakes e.g., deleting a config/data file by mistake.

Changing a task's end date to an invalid one directly through JSON is obviously a deliberate sabotage attempt, instead of potential user mistasks, hence it is not accepted as a bug for PE.

Severity is downgraded to Low since it does not affect any normal user.

Type is changed to FeatureFlaw since we do not expect user to sabotage JSON file directly.
