Duplicate name detection

[tanqinyong]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter name already in Moddie, differing only the amount of whitespaces in between words

Expected:

1. Either the name is accepted with a warning that it may be a duplicate, or is flagged as a dupliate contact already in the Moddie

Actual:

1. Accepted with no issues, warnings.

Screenshots:

Points out problematic behaviour:

This may be an issue as users may incorrectly enter the same name twice, differing only one whitespaces. For example, "John Doe" and "John Doe" is recognised as separate names, but should be the same. Consider trimming whitespaces in between words, then detecting for duplicates as this is an easy typo to make for users.

In our User Guide, we have mentioned that spaces in between names are affected and will differ.

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: While I do agree that the feature flaw is documented in your UG, it is explicitly stated as a feature flaw in the course website and is thus, still a feature flaw. The application should check for near-matches or give a warning as stated below.
