Hello Lars,

Thanks for the quick response. Hoping this issue can be resolved soon.

One question please. When do you think the next version of DHIS (i.e. 2.16) will be released?


Thanks again.

Maheed

Subject: Re: [Dhis2-users] Data import to a Dataset linked to a combination of categories

HI Maheed,

good spot and you are correct. We simply haven't implemented it yet due to time constraints. We have a blueprint for it here<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/attribute-option-combos-in-import>. We will prioritize it and let you know when its done.

regards,

Lars

Dear DHIS users/developers,

As you know, we have a feature in DHIS that allows a dataset to be linked to a “Combination of categories”.
In the data entry form, these category combinations will be rendered as dropdown lists in addition to the Org Unit and period.

These category combinations are configured as “Attributes” so they could be linked to the dataset in that way.
This is a very good feature and works well from the web user interface data entry forms.

However, if we want to import data using xml/csv file, this doesn’t work as needed. That is because the import template does not support any category combinations defined in the dataset. It only works if the dataset is configured with the “default” category combination.

My question ==> is there any way that we can import data to this kind of dataset and set the values of the category combination attributes from the input file (xml/csv).

Has anyone faced this issue and found a solution for it? If it is it a bug in the system, do you know if there is any plan to fix it?
Awaiting your feedback please…

Note that I am using the latest version of DHIS 2.15 Rev. 15181


Thanks,

Maheed
