Thank you for highlighting this matter.
After careful consideration, we have adjusted the severity of the issue to medium. We acknowledge that while certain fields are mandatory, there are practical workarounds available. Users can enter placeholder data such as 'NA' for addresses, '000' for phone numbers, or 'NA@NA.com' for emails if specific details are not immediately available.
We understand that this requirement may introduce a slight inconvenience. However, it does not render the product unusable. It's important to emphasize that this design choice is intentional. By making these fields mandatory, we aim to encourage users to provide comprehensive information, enhancing the overall utility and effectiveness of the app.
Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue severity
Team chose [severity.Medium]
Originally [severity.High]
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Doesn't really makes sense to me that if I'm trying to keep track of my job applications I need to keep track of my contacts' address. If I meet someone through LinkedIn or through networking it's highly unlikely I will know their address. The app doesnt allow me to add someone without their address.
It's the same thing for the other fields. I need to keep track of their email, phone number etc. What if I only know their email but not their phone number?
