             Summary: The "Select" button in the Calendar Exception Day section functions as an edit action but lacks appropriate context and UI feedback, leading to user confusion.
                 Key: OFBIZ-13257
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13257
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: manufacturing
    Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch
            Reporter: Yashwant Dhakad


*Description*
In the Calendar tab of the Manufacturing module, users can add exception days using the "Add Calendar Exception Week" form. Once added, the exception days appear in a list above the form, each entry displaying two buttons: Select and Delete.

When the Select button is clicked, the corresponding exception day’s details populate the form fields. While this allows users to modify existing entries, the rest of the form remains unchanged — particularly:

* The button label remains "Add", not indicating any change in mode.

* There is no visual indication that the user is now editing an existing record instead of creating a new one.

This lack of feedback creates ambiguity, especially for new users, as the system does not clearly distinguish between "add" and "edit" operations.

*Proposed Improvements*
To enhance usability and align the interface with user expectations, the following changes are recommended:

Rename the Select button to Edit to more accurately reflect its function.
When Edit is clicked:

* Switch the form into edit mode.
* Replace the "Add" button with an Update button.
* Optionally, introduce visual cues (e.g., form highlighting or a message) to indicate that the form is now in edit mode.

*Benefits*
* Reduces user confusion by clearly distinguishing between adding and editing actions.
* Improves consistency in UI behavior and terminology.
* Enhances overall user experience, particularly in scenarios with frequent calendar configuration changes.
