“Can you comfirm that each user account can have no more than one of these entities?”
“Yes. Definitely.”
Today:
“Oh by the way, we have some users who need to have multiple entities. Can you fix it?”
I’m in the exact same boat right now.
Also this change from 1:1 to 1:n entity was like one “minor” feature in a rather larger list of feature requests. It so far has caused more work then all the other features combined.
Or worse, it was an n:1 and they want it n:n
And months later you’ll find out, that your change completely fucks over some internal optimizer statistic and causes the DB to turn into lava.
I definitely don’t know that, because of several hour long outages and millions of lost revenue.
I eventually learned to never trust any restrictions on the user.
I quickly learned to make sure everyone had a copy of decisions made, so that I could charge by the hour for changes. I eventually learned to include examples of what would and would not be possible in any specification or change order.
Even worse, they’ll claim it was a bug
this is ongoing now. Our “creators” were supposed to be “matched” for a “job” based on “skills”, not “skill”. pure chaos
Oof
