Hi

Just as an add-on to the above: I then when back into "Data Element
combination" form and REMOVED "default" again. Then ran "update data
category option combinations" again and re-loaded resource tables - only to
find that all those "Dayxx, default" catoptioncombos are still there.
CLeared my browser cache, re-started tomcat - but those catoptioncombos are
still there....

This is exactly the kind of thing that frustrates me with
categoryoptioncombos: if you do something that creates a range of
categoryoptioncombos, and then UNDO exactly the same thing, all those
categoryOptionCombos remain in the database instead of being removed. You
then have to do a lot of clean-up in the database itself to get rid of it,
OR restore an earlier version of the database. We have now developed a
habit of doing a dump of the whole instance AFTER EVERY SINGLE ACTION
involving CategoryOptionCombos, and we analyse the catoptioncombo list for
irrelevant items/duplicates also after every single step - annoying and
time-consuming, but better than spending days cleaning up again.

Anybody have any ideas for how to get rid of these "left-over"
catoptioncombos in a quick and easy manner? Or maybe it's possible to have
them automatically removed when the underlying definitions are changing (as
when removing "default" from the Category Element Combination)

Regards
Calle
