Re: API Call for Append Single Addition or Single Subtraction

 

Hi Tim,
I think this should work

Remove a single data element:
curl -X DELETE -u admin:district
https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC/dataElements/a5MxE5H7d3q

Add it back:
curl -X POST -u admin:district
https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC/dataElements/a5MxE5H7d3q


Its described in the section above (  1.10.4. Adding and removing objects
to/from collections )

Regards,
Jason
