Consecutive special characters breaks email validation

[nus-se-script]

e.g. add n/John Doe p/98765432 e/j..o.h_n+d@example.com c/SG t/friends t/owesMoney

According to ug:

The local-part should only contain alphanumeric characters and these special characters, excluding the parentheses, (+_.-). The local-part may not start or end with any special characters

This example command seems to fit the pattern, however it cannot be added

Team's Response

Thank you for the feedback. We acknowledge that this is a valid bug, but we would like to highlight that not accepting consecutive special characters is intended. From an online source, it can be seen that the local-part of email addresses cannot have 2 consecutive special characters. Hence, we believe the severity of this bug should be low because it is a flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Job applicants will not have email addresses that contain 2 consecutive special characters.
