Overzealous phone number validation blocking symbols in input

[nus-se-script]

Attempts to enter phone numbers in various valid formats such as

 add /com shopback /desc create new recommendation engine /status ongoing /poc jane yeo /email hr@tiktok.com /phone +65 90890212 /loc remote /role Software Intern

are blocked by the application. This restriction does not add value and limits user flexibility in inputting phone numbers as they see fit.

Rationale: severity.Medium - This might occasionally frustrate and inconvenience users especially if the company is from another country (which may be quite often), requiring other country codes to be input.

Team's Response

We agree that this is a valid issue. However, internships that have an international phone number as a contact are rare, since international internships typically use email as a POC. In addition, the Remark field is intended for rare cases like this. Therefore, we believe that this is NotInScope, since accounting for these rare cases with workarounds has a lower priority than the work already done in v1.4.
