Addition of appointment for invalid dates (i.e. before today)

[nus-pe-bot]

Steps to recreates:

1. Add the person e.g. addPatient i/T0123456A n/John Doe b/2001-01-30 p/98765432 e/johnd@example.com a/311, Clementi Ave 2, #02-25 t/insulin t/panadol

2. Add the appointment (with a date prior today) e.g. addAppt i/T0123456A d/2024-02-20 from/11:00 to/11:30 t/Medical Check-up note/May come earlier

Expected:

Warning / Error message. This is because creating an appointment before today does not make sense. There is no use case (e.g. back-logging) to support this "feature" as well.

Actual:

Considered as valid input.

Team's Response

Hello, thank you for raising this issue.

This was covered in the FAQ section of the UG:

The observations made in the bug report are expected behaviour and within the premise of a valid input, as covered in the UG.

However, including a warning message is a possible improvement that the team acknowledges. Nevertheless, fixing it is less important than the work done in the current version of the product.

Response not in scope.

In any case, the severity has been dropped to severity.Low as it is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product.

Duplicate status (if any):
