Explanation: Making attendance for invalid dates such as 2023-04-31 or 2023-02-30 casues the program to accept them. However, 2023-02-30 marks the attendance for 2023-02-28 and 2023-04-31 marks the attendance for 2023-04-30. This might cause huge confusion for the attendance marker as the invalid date input might cause attendance to be marked for days that are not intended to mark.

Team's Response

Accepted as a functionality bug but with low severity as typing of an invalid date is a rare situation and would cause only a minor inconvenience, dependent on the user's accuracy in keying in dates. Normal operations would not be affected by this.
