Suspiciously alike duplicate person #2

Open wowsiddanth opened 2 years ago

wowsiddanth commented 2 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add a person John Doe with all details.

  2. Add another person with different name and different details.

  3. Edit details to match John Doe's but let the name differ in terms of casing by just one character.

This is not desirable as they are basically duplicates (improper duplicate detection).


Expected:

Duplicate detected and alerts the user.


Actual: Successfully adds person.

Team's Response

We agree that allowing users to have suspiciously alike duplicate person is a feature flaw but we think that severity should be low as it is quite unlikely for a typical user to try and add two or more contacts of people with the same names but different capitalisation.

Items for the Tester to Verify
