Hi,
just an observation/comment with regard to how locking of datasets seems to be handled. 

I saw a case today where some of the same data elements were used in two different, but related datasets. One of these had locking («Expiry days») enabled, the other did not. For those data elements that were part of both data sets, data entry was locked even when entering data for the dataset that was not locked. It took some time (and a suggestion from Ola) before we figured out what was going on.

I’m not sure if this behaviour is by design or not, and I can see both pros and cons of doing it this way. Nonetheless, I found it quite confusing, so I though I’d share it on the list just as a heads up for others.
