Question regarding Add feature

[WilliamRyank]

Our team will have around 10 fields for each person type. Since we feel that typing a whole string is quite messy, we came up with an idea that for adding, it will be more like form. So when we type add, it will create a form with all the fields and their values are empty. Then the app will prompt like Name? then the user will type in the Name, everytime the user type in a field's value, the form will be updated so the user will now whether what he has inputed is correct. Then he can undo if he input wrongly. Is it advisable to have such feature?

I wouldn't block such a feature but I wonder if a fast typist would find filling forms "slow". Imagine filling a form to perform a git task that has many flags/parameters; novices might find it useful but advanced users will prefer typing it as one string. The ideal is if you provide both modes. Also, try to cut down the number of fields or make most of them optional.

Okay prof, thanks for your suggestion. Yeah cause i do think there is a benefit in making such a feature, as our application will be used by hospital and people need to be careful and typically the user will want to double check if what they keyed in is correct. Will try to do both modes. Thanks prof!
