Deletion of unused people/locations in the contact diary

[felixbohnacker]

Avoid duplicates

• This issue has not already been raised before
• If you are proposing a new feature, please do so in CWA-Wishlist

Current Implementation

Currently, people and locations can‘t be deleted once they have been entered. If there is a typo, this is quite annoying.

Suggested Enhancement

Allow deletion of entries that have not been added to the contact diary

Expected Benefits

A less cluttered list of people/locations to select from

Hey @felixbohnacker 👋🏻

Indeed it is possible to delete locations/people, used or unused.
Please follow these instructions.

There is a open wishlist issue which requests a better usability for the contact diary: corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist#334

All issues regarding the contact diary can be found in this overview.

If you are happy with the answer, please close this Issue.

Thanks and stay safe!

@Ein-Tim Actually not the first time this question was posed. What do you think about creating a FAQ on contact diary usage?

[Ein-Tim]

@dsarkar
Sounds good, will you create a PR?
Maybe it would be possible to link this from inside the App?

[felixbohnacker]

Thank you, I really missed this option. However, I agree that the usability could be better.

@felixbohnacker Thanks, any feedback and suggestions welcome!

Can do, although having second thoughts... we have this large blog

That must be discussed with devs and product owners. Let's start with a small FAQ, if necessary.

@dsarkar

Right, I forgot this blog post, sorry.

I think a small FAQ entry would be still good to have this important information in the FAQs too, but not a high priority item.
