Hi @lungsin, your pull request title is invalid.

For PR sent to satisfy a learning outcome, the PR name should be in the format of [Learning Outcome ID][Team ID] Your Name, where [Learning Outcome ID] has no dashes or spaces (e.g. [W3.1a]) and [Team ID] has one dash only and no spaces (e.g. [W14-2] means Wednesday 2pm (14 hrs), Team 2).
E.g. If you are in tutorial W09 (i.e. Wednesday 9am), team 1, and is submitting a PR for LO W2.2b, the PR title would be [W2.2b][W09-1] James Yong. Note that your tutorial IDs are different from those shown in CORS/IVLE.

For team PR, the PR name should be in the format of [Team ID] Product Name (e.g. [T09-2] Contact List Pro).

Please follow the above format strictly and edit your title for reprocessing.
