Hi Knut,
You are right, for instance when a user is picking a child to link to a
mother, there is a chance of linking that child to more than one mother,
there should be something to tell us that the child we are picking is
already linked to another mother. The MNCH program on the online demo is
already allowing one to pick up a child twice and relate the child with
different mothers. I am not sure from the argument on this email thread
whether I should go ahead and write a blue print for this.
