Client: This database is too inflexible. We need to have a way to handle exceptions in these forms, rather than populating stuff based on template information.
Me: Ok, here's your solution. You press this button to create an ad hoc exception form, type in the data that is the exception.
Client: What? Manual data entry? That's so laborious. We want it to be populated automatically.
Me: Let me get this straight. You want the database to automatically populate with ad hoc information, based entirely on your own discretion?
Client: Yes. This is 2024, we shouldn't have to be doing these sorts of admin tasks.
