Hi team,

Does anyone know if a blueprint was ever made for cascading/nested
selections? I was unable to find it through a quick search right now.

If not, I can add a blueprint on this (hopefully there might be some room
in 2.25)

Thanks Markus,

That will indeed be useful if you can get it into 2.22

The challenge with your alternative (which I had considered) is that (in
this 'use case' of attempting to model a lite version of ICPC - which
includes one or more symptoms, diagnosis codes and intervention codes) is
that the final 'episode' of care is spread across potentially hundreds of
data elements (most of them empty), just to 'fake' this filter ability on
the front end.

A quick related comment ... it would be great if one of the Action(s) in a
Program Rule were to populate a 'label' element that could be used in a
later section (as a reminder of what was previously filled in) -
particularly for the Android Tracker App, where each 'section' is on a
separate 'screen'.
