Address validation unclear

[nus-se-script]

Someone lives in an electronic house (e/house for short).

I want to set their address to e/house, which is allowed based on the user guide

edit_person 1 a/ e/house causes an error, though having spaces after the flag usually works.

However, edit_person 1 a/e/house works.

This is not documented in the User Guide.

This is documented in the user guide

As stated in the UG, a/ accepts empty strings and will clear existing values in address, and in your command "a/" will be deemed as a prefix to clear existing address values. Hence "e/house" will be considered as a email prefix in this case and "house" is not a valid email stated in the UG.

In your valid command, "a/e/house", the input value for the "a/" prefix is non-empty and "a/house" will be taken as input values for address, hence it is a valid command.

Duplicate status (if any):
