ADD Feature does not account for special characters in names

[nus-pe-bot]

Steps to reproduce:

• As per the UG, I have inputted add ic/S9974944F n/französisch p/91234567 e/johndoe@email.com g/M b/11-11- 1990 d/Paracetamol | Penicillin i/Infectious Diseases, which is not accepted due to the special character ö.

Expected:

• I expected to get a new patient record added.

Actual:

• However, I got an error message instead.

Screenshots:

This is problematic as there may be some foreigners, especially from different countries with such special names. You can consider supporting this for better convenience and usability for your users, especially since blocking such input does not value add much as compared to allowing for it.

Team's Response

Such issue is of valid concern especially for foreign names that contains special symbols. The team has actually taken note of this particular use case and it was unfortunately not included in the planned enhancements. Hence Accepted.
