BUG? Does the Answer label belong in the Passage Guide

Given that the Passage Guide is geared towards the biblical text, is it necessary for the Answer label to be included as an option in the Concordance section? I also have the same question re: Daily Event. The reason it concerns me is that its presence in the list implies that it applies and thus encourages confusion on the part of the user.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I don't know the answer off the top of my head. I'll add it to my list of items to look into and report back.

    I wouldn't classify this as a bug, but more of a feature request. Can you add your post onto our feedback board, thanks.

    I would classify it as a bug if it misleads the user and overly complicates the user interface - a specification error to be precise where the specs should have limited the entries in the Concordance section which is a "by Bible reference guide" component to labels that potentially can appear in the section. That appears to have been original specification which was ignored in the implementation of labels added recently. And, yes, having had a career in data processing, I recognize that the technician's definition and the users' definition of bug are not the same but that a better user interface is created by using the users' definition.

    It is not a Feature Request. It is a bug because:

    • some of the data (e.g. 4000 Q & A on the Bible) is directly relevant to the bible i.e. it could be accessed by passage but is not.
    • some of the data is not directly relevant to the passage especially with  Answers to Tough Questions
    • the Westminster Confessions data has many passages per Q but they are not accessed.

    Ah, my apologies, let me fix that and get a case going. Again, sorry MJ and Dave.
