The team agrees that hyphens are a possible occurrence in students' names. However, this would be a feature flaw rather than a functionality bug, as we have stated the validation within the command format (as seen in the screenshot above).
We believe that this warrants a low-severity than medium-severity functionality bug: there is no need for teachers to represent the legal names of their students, character-by-character, in EduLog. Instead, it is for tracking and identification purposes. We hence think that the entry of the student without the hyphen, e.g. Ben Lim
, would not significantly diminish the tutor's ability to identify students based on our list. Hence, the inconvenience would be low and rare in the team's opinion.

Many people have hyphens in their name, and so it is expected that an application which tracks students should allow hyphens. However, the add command does not allow hyphens
Steps to reproduce
add n/Ben-Lim p/98765432 e/ben@example.com a/John street, block 123, #01-01 f/100
