:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Team chose [severity.Low
]
Originally [severity.Medium
]
Reason for disagreement: The team did not provide reason for lowering the severity. Reiterating my justification in the original bug report:
Considering this is a surveyee tracking app that requires users to manually type in all the data, it can occasionally happen that the user input some surveyee he/she has already input before with a different name capitalisation, this can make tracking messy.
It is also mentioned here that such limitation should be made clear to the user. However, in the UG this is not very clear.
Adding three entries with everything the same except for the capitalisation of the name is allowed.
However, they are very likely to refer to the same person.
