Why are both date of birth and category mandatory?

Question

This is about the import function. Why do I have to enter the category when both the license number and the date of birth of an athlete have already been entered? Surely this information can be derived from the previously entered information? This is not only error-prone, but also involves double data entry.

This has to do with the GDPR; additional checks must be built in. If you have all the data in an Excel file, you can enter it all in one go, which saves you extra work and reduces the chance of errors.

The membership numbers + date of birth are indeed a security measure to comply with the GDPR. The reason that the category must also be entered is as follows: During the import process, you can import many registrations at once. We have assumed that users are not always complete and sometimes do not enter a date of birth. In addition, some athletes sometimes compete in a higher category. For all these situations, we have decided to always ask for the category during an import, just to be sure.
