2.26: Catcombos not working as expected - selected datasetelements appear as (default)

 

Hi,

I've encountered an issue that I find baffling - using a very recent trunk
(2.26, 30 Nov):

1.
I've got a standard category with three options, which in turn was used to
create a similarly named CategoryComto (and the three options appear in the
CategoryComboOption list). It is definition-wise identical to e.g. the
catcombo setup for "HIV age" in the SL demo

2.
This simple categorycombo has been allocated to a set of numeric data
elements.

3.
A data set has been created comprising those data elements, and the data
set has been allocated to around 250 health facilities (Note: There is no
"attribute" catcombo for the data set).

In other words: an basic, standard setup, similar to the use of "HIV Age"
for the PMTCT Summary data set in the SL Demo.

The problem is that the data entry form - whether I leave the data set to
use the default data entry form or I create a single Section data entry
form - does not show the three catcombos, just the usual single value.

Furthermore, and this I have never seen before: When I allocated those data
elements to the data set, they all appeared with their normal names both in
the available list and in the selected list. BUT WHEN RE-OPENING the data
set form, all the selected data elements now appear as
"<name> (default)"
The available data elements are normal - there is no (default) appended to
the name for the available elements, only the selected ones.

I cannot find any reference to this use of (default) in the user manual.

Can anybody explain what is going on here, and if possible what I might be
doing wrong?

Regards
Calle
