Hi Alex - that will work, but we are looking at using Validation Rules, so
they can be used for both, data entry and data import. Also, there are some
indicators that I need to calculate that only use as numerator a specific
DataValue that belong to one of the DataSetAttributes.

I may need to reverse the decision of using the Dataset Attributes, and
instead do it the classic way: just Data Elements and CatCambos.
