View feature does not print every field (such as grade) in calendar #3

Description

View command does not work as expected, as it does not display the fields that were added to each student in the list. Since the UG mentions that the view command "Displays a calendar to view scheduled classes", this behavior is not specified and differs from normal expectations

Steps to reproduce

  1. edit 1 g/A
  2. view

Team's Response

The decision was made to only show the key features of the student in the calendar view due to UI constraints (only able to fit a certain amount of words in the box). As such, the grade was omitted as it doesn't really help the tutor in planning which days to teach a specific student.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Thank you for your response!

I believe this enhancement can and should be added as a future enhancement for the product, by updating the user guide to reflect the details and constraints of the feature and/or improving the feature to reflect all fields. The user guide should be updated with details and bullet points to explain what behaviour is expected of the "view feature" and what the feature should rightfully display since right now, it merely mentions that it "displays a calendar to view scheduled classes" as stated in the original bug report. In its current state, the users may expect to see all the details related to the class (including attendance and grade) since the user guide does not define what scheduled classes entail (which to some users would include the grades and attendance while for some would not).

Therefore, since the team mentioned that the decision was made to only show the key features in the calendar view, the user guide (under the view feature) should mention what these features are lest users remain unaware of the limitations and expectations of the "view feature."

This bug fits the description of a flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product, and it appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only, so it remains in its original classification as a bug of low severity.
