Their Response to the 'Original' Bug
[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
This is the only way to use the add command, as anything less than 11 would mean lesser fields (lesser info). A shortcut to get around this is available through the import command

:question: Issue response
Team chose [response.Rejected]
- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: I believe that having to type so many information in one lines hinders the usability of the app, this makes adding a user each time very difficult and considering the user guide stated that it is suppose to be efficient and convenient, this add command does not provide that. On top of that, realising you made a mistake and needing to shift all the way back to the front of the command line is also extremely tedious.
While there is a tradeoff between the amount information and usability, I believe that a balance have to be struck and in this case having 11 compulsory fields really greatly affects usability.
Making some fields optional, could allow the users to choose which field they want to include and improve their experience.

I believe that there are too many compulsory fields in an add command making the use of adding a contact inconvenient
