No way to add 2 people with the same name in the AddressBook (different intended jobs, emails, ph nos.)

[tanwartushar]

Currently, the application does not allow the addition of two people into the address book with the same name, however they are different people, as their addresses, phone nos, email ids are different.

this is an issue because, 2 people of the same name (but different details) may exist and may be have different jobs for a wedding.

Suggested fix: check person duplications by checking email and phone number. (persons are duplicate only if email, name, and phone numbers are the same)

trying to add:

person that exists:

The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

Checks duplicates only by name does not fit for real life scenarios

KnottyPlanners uses only names to distinguish contacts from one another. By in real-life scenarios, there can be many duplicated names by nature. Solely checking on names does not suit for real-life usage. A much more reasonable approach would be to distinguish by email address, because email address by nature, is unique and can be verified easily

We put this as not in scope because we mentioned in our UG that you should add keywords to differentiate if you do have two people with the same name.
