type not throwing any error message when repeated twice while creating record

[Rahul Yadav]

while creating records if --type (mandatory field) is repeated twice system throw an error message but when another mandatory field i.e records is repeated twice
system accepting it and not give any error.

--type A www.abc --type A www.abc -------------error
--records 10.0.4.3 --records 10.0.0.4 -------------no error (record created with 10.0.0.4)
--ttl 10 --ttl 20 -------------no error (record created with ttl 20)
--description "hello hows u" --description "iam fine" -----no error (record created with description iam fine )

eg: RECORDS TWICE

[Dr. Jens Harbott (j-harbott)]

The failing command that is shown repeats the sequence " --type A www.xyz" twice, which is a combination of the type option and a positional parameter. As the command only takes two positional parameters, specifying a third one leads to the error that is seen. Specifying just "--type A" twice doesn't raise an error for me.

Having the second occurrence of a parameter override the first one is just working as designed.
