I could have been imagining this but I thought the option to restrict
the list to predefined values was implemented at some point? It makes
perfect sense to allow the designer to choose this if it is appropriate
to the data element in question. So I agree with both of you.

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.
