Hi Busoye,

We don't support that kind of patient attributes linked directly to the
orgunit hierrachy.
You can set up an attribute with Value Type = Predefined Value with a flat
list of options, which in theory you can populate with a list of all
sub-districts (e.g. copy from orgunit hierrachy using sql)... But you won't
get the dynamic linking to the orgunit hierarchy that you seem to be asking
for.

The only way to link the person to an orgunit is via the actual
events/visits of a patient, through the orgunit providing the service.
That orgunit, e.g. a health facility, will be linked to a sub-district
through the hierarchy, or could be member of an orgunit group that
specifies the location.
You can also specify coordinates for each event if you need to track event
locations that are outside the orgunit hierarchy.

But if you want to capture a static location for a patient that is
independent of the location of the events/visits, we don't have a way to
link that to the orgunit hierarchy.
