Invalid error message shown when adding assignment but with extra parameters

[seaniy]

Command to recreate: add m/daw a/wda by/17/04/2021 2359 n/21

Should be a command format error as opposed to incorrect date format.

Incorrect error message for edit assignment

Expected output: Wrong error thrown when using on/ instead of by/ or d/ for edit assignment.
Should be error for incorrect command format instead.

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

The alphanumeric error is not an error, as the prefix "on" is not expected here, so it is taken as part of the assignment prefix "a/" especially when it is the most recent valid prefix for the command format. The content of the error message is correct and so we reduced the severity of the issue as it does not affect the overall use of the app, especially with the proper use of the user guide.
