Duplicate events can be added

[wowsiddanth]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add random tasks with different details.
2. Add another event, then edit details to be similar to the first.

Medium severity because it might some users are not cautious and accidentally add duplicates, unnecessarily cluttering the system.

Expected: Rejection, because duplicate.

Actual: Accepted by system.

Team's Response

Duplicate events are allowed. There are cases where you want events with the same description, date/time, etc

Reason for disagreement: Thank you for your response.

Yes, there will be circumstances where you want events with the same description, date/time, etc.

However, this criteria are mutually exclusive. There is no situation where a user would want to input a task with the exact same details, down to the participants as shown in the screenshot above.

Such a situation may occur when the user tries to create recurring task (like daily tasks) but ends up mistyping a character, which leads to a duplication.

This is especially concerning as since they is no duplicity check, there can be many of such duplicate tasks crowding up the application, leading to unwanted clutter.

I assigned a severity.Medium label to it because although it can be an inconvenience to some users, having to delete the duplicate events, the application still remains useable.
