Hi

I would like to assign one tracked entity attribute to a program, but with
that specific attribute NOT appearing in the attribute list during Tracker
Capture. (NOTE: my only reason for including this "hidden" attribute is
that program notifications cannot access data element values, so I'm using
an ASSIGN validation rule to "copy" a needed data element value into this
attribute so it can be used as part of the notification template).

My assumption was that unticking the "Display in List" setting would do
this, but it has no effect whatsoever - the specific attribute still appear
in the data capture standard form and you can capture data the usual way.
This is 2.25, latest build.

1. IS there another way to have "hide" an attribute in a program?

2. Does anybody know what that "Display in List" setting actually DO? What
"list" does it refer to?

(the user manual does not go beyond the "add attributes and make sure one
of them has been set to Display in List" level - there's no explanations or
examples what the settings actually do).

Regards
Calle
