Unclear indication of missing switch #931

Open nus-pe-bot opened 1 year ago

nus-pe-bot commented 1 year ago

When I miss out a certain detail when adding a task, I'm not sure what switch I missed out until I refer to the long command usage in the DG.

Steps to reproduce: add -e Career Fair -sd 2023/02/10 -ed 2023/02/11

Expected output: An error message telling me exactly what information I am missing.

Actual output:

add -e Career Fair -sd 2023/02/10 -ed 2023/02/11
