I don't think there is. At the end, I had to create 2 sets of Data Elements
(200 Data Elements x2=400 Data Elements), as if I used the DataSet
Attribute I couldn't look at an specific one when doing a indicator or
validation. I do think that DHIS needs to expose the DataSet Attribute as
part of the Indicator/ Quality modules at some point soon - having it on
the analytics is not enough. I could be as easier as extending the current
notation DataElementUID.CatComboUID by adding a third .DataSetAttributeIUD.
