Re: [Dhis2-users] DHIS CSV import error

 

Hi Maimoona,

"Dryrun" means that you can check if your data are ok and what they are,
without actually importing. So when you select Dryrun=yes, nothing should
be imported.

Thanks for reporting the other issue, sounds like something we need to look
into.
