Re: what do you guys think of a duplicate function

 

Hi Ime,
I think it is a useful function (even though it might not be used
frequently).

Ola has submitted this blue print on Data Elements,
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/data-element-cloning

I was wondering whether it is worth submitting a similar blue print for
Indicators too.
For Indicators, 'Replicate' function is there in DHIS1.4, which basically
allow you to create an Indicator by different names, with more or less
similar numerators, denominators and Indicator types.
