Error Messages/Logs

Root Cause

Please correct and standardize by simply swapping "1 and 2 between Yes/No depending on context. So the fixed should be: "1 [ALWAYS] =No; 2 [ALWAYS] =Yes; 3 [ALWAYS]=Yes+don't ask again" and then track the reduction of user errors who formerly, regrettably hit "2" and then had to stop and take the added time to correct it, because they thought they hit "Yes, don't ask again" but that option had been removed.

What's Wrong?

Permission prompt button order is inconsistent and thus inefficient and illogical, especially when there is an easy fix. That is, where now sometimes 1=Yes/2=No, and sometimes its reversed.

What Should Happen?

Please correct and standardize by simply swapping "1 and 2 between Yes/No depending on context. So the fixed should be: "1 [ALWAYS] =No; 2 [ALWAYS] =Yes; 3 [ALWAYS]=Yes+don't ask again" and then track the reduction of user errors who formerly, regrettably hit "2" and then had to stop and take the added time to correct it, because they thought they hit "Yes, don't ask again" but that option had been removed.

TL;DR

Standardize the permission prompt button order by swapping "1" and "2" to consistently map "1" to "No" and "2" to "Yes".

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of the permission prompt to identify where the inconsistent button order is introduced.
  • Update the code to standardize the button order, ensuring "1" always corresponds to "No" and "2" to "Yes", with "3" being "Yes, don't ask again".
  • Track user interactions to monitor the reduction in errors after implementing the fix.
  • Consider adding automated tests to verify the consistency of the button order across different scenarios.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific code snippets or technical details, so the guidance is based on the described behavior and expected fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Standardize the button order as described to improve user experience and reduce errors, as the issue is reported as a regression and the exact cause or previous working version is not specified.
