Adding tags during edit command

[b1inmeister]

If I select 'y' when asked for tags in the edit command, it will limit me to 3 tags, even when I add more.

However, when I input the tags I want when the program asks for the tags, every tag that I inputted will be added to the transaction.

Is this supposed to be the case? What is the purpose of including the 'y' for selection, when a user can just type in the tags during the first prompt?

Team's Response

After reviewing the reported inconsistency in tag handling during edit operations, we believe this issue aligns more accurately with the severity.Low classification rather than the current severity.Medium designation.

Severity Analysis Based on Defined Criteria

According to the provided severity definitions:

• severity.Medium: "A flaw that causes occasional inconvenience to some users, but they can continue to use the product."
• severity.Low: "A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only."

This tag limit inconsistency fits the severity.Low criteria for the following reasons:

1. Normal operations remain unaffected: The core financial tracking functionality of recording, editing, and analyzing transactions continues to work correctly.

2. Appears in a rare situation: The inconsistency only manifests during a specific sequence of actions - editing a transaction, choosing to modify tags, and specifically selecting the 'y' option for tag input.

3. Causes minor inconvenience only: Users who encounter the limitation can immediately bypass it by using the direct input method instead, without any disruption to their workflow.

The issue does not significantly impede users' ability to organize their transactions with tags. Even when encountering the 3-tag limit in the 'y' selection path, users can still tag their transactions effectively, just with fewer tags in that particular input mode.
