Allowing for custom values will make analysis e.g. in pivot table and
event reports a bit tricky I think since lots of values would be outside
the defined set of options . I would say we should confine it to values
in the option set. For free-text one can create another data element.

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

Status in DHIS 2:
  Fix Committed

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.

  Best regards,
