Putting multiple field with the same value is not allowed

[hazzle23]

In this command example add n/hubert s/Geography s/Geography p/98765432 ........
The repetition of s/Geography is most likely accidental. In this case, the input is not ambiguous, because the subject is clearly Geography. Not accepting this input means the user need to do additional step of deleting the repetition.

Suggestion: If the user accidentally retype the same field but the values are the same, the developer can just accept the input as it is not ambiguous.

Team's Response

Hi, thank you for your input. We will mark this as NotInScope.
The course website states the following:

The user cannot attempt to use the missing feature or when the user does so, the software fails gracefully, possibly with a suitable error message i.e., the software should not crash.

We understand your concern. Although our application is unable to handle such an input as of v1.6, a suitable error message is still shown to alert the user.
Trying to validate such inputs will reduce the effort available for us to implement the other crucial features of our application, such as the payment features.

Of course, your suggestion is valuable to our team in terms of improving the user experience for UGTeach, and we will consider improving this in the future iteration, which is to allow user to input multiple values for a single-valued field(s), provided the input values are the same / does not cause ambiguity.
