When I try to run the file again after exit I couldn't able to enter.

It showed a big error message and did not let me enter to the app as below.

So after I delete that file and enter to the app I lost my all data which was saved related to interviews.

Team's Response

Hi, thank you for the report.

We decided to reject this bug report as the error message clearly mentions that the user should either fix the corrupted entry or delete the corrupted file to continue with the application. With regard to losing data, the error message shows which entry is corrupted, so the user can either delete that entry or fix the corruption in that entry. Thus it won't lead to loss of all data.

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I disagree with the team's response because, although the error message suggests fixing the corrupted entry, in reality, I was not able to open the application at all to view or edit the file. Since I couldn’t enter the app, my only option was to delete the entire data file, which led to complete loss of previously saved data.

My suggestion is that the app should validate entries before saving them. If an input is corrupted or incorrectly formatted, the app should show an error message during input, rather than crashing on the next startup. This would prevent data corruption and protect users from losing their saved data.
