Re: [Bug 1335677] [NEW] DHIS2.16 option set list not validating data entry

 

Agree, I’ve seen many examples where another data element has been
required for «Others» not in the list, optionally allowing other values
would solve that problem.

Title:
  DHIS2.16 option set list not validating data entry

Status in DHIS 2:
  New

Bug description:
  I am not entirely sure if this is by design but if you have an option
  set list the user should not be allowed to enter values not in the
  list. From my recollection, this used to be the case.

  With 2.16, you can enter values outside the option set list. Is this
  intended or is there another criteria which must be selected to limit
  the possible entries the list?

  I replicated this on the SNAPSHOT demo site:

  1) Go to Data Entry

  2) Select Org unit and Facility Assessment Data Set

  3) Select Period

  4) In the Equipment Section, enter 20 for the data element: Glucometer
  is present. The option set list is 1 - 5.

  5) It seems counterintuitive to be able to enter any value where you
  have defined a range of values for a data element.
