+# Adding new client using the GUI
+
+## Tests for GUI settings
+* When adding a new client in the GUI, the status should default to Lead and the substatus to New Lead. (Setting: default values for those fields.)
+* Neither the status nor the substatus dropdown should not contain a placeholder option such as "None" or "Select". (Setting: Required field)
+
+
+## Tests for JS code in js/edit_client.js
+* If you change the substatus, the status should automatically change accordingly (e.g. "One-off Training" -> "Confirmed", or "3-month follow-up due" -> "Accredited"). 
+* You should not be able to change the status except by changing the substatus.
