Dear Abyota*,*

I'm trying to follow your working on Patient module so that I've got some
questions wanna ask you like this:
*
Creating attribute group*

You suggested that the attribute group and attributes which have a
relationship as one to many, didn't you? But the approach in Dataelement
management with the relationship is many to many.

Btw, you said also that *"otherwise we need to also store attribute group id
when persisting attribute values" *but its seemly opposite to *"I prefer to
append something like "temp" and create slightly different attributes
than persisting
attribute group id when storing attribute values"*.

Or I'm misunderstanding your idea?

On the other hand, Can you please explaining to me more about
*PatientIdentifier
*and *PatientIdentifierType*. What are they used for ?

Thanks !
