I did that for IDSR/Malaria in order to "map" local IDSR program indicators
to the WHO aggregated malaria data elements.

It is, frankly, a painful and "expert" approach to the problem, and in my
opinion very difficult to maintain.

The presumably simplest solution is to expand the "Data Value Set" download
option under the pivot table app to incorporate the optional use of CODES
or NAMES. While some might argue that using the same code or name for a
Program Indicator as for an aggregated data element is not "purist", it
should work.

A more sophisticated solution that would be useful for any type of data
import is to introduce data element and organisationunit "mapping" during
import - similar functionality has been available in DHIS v1 since time
immemorial.

Users can then define/store/use two lookup field values: uid (or code/name)
INCOMING, and uid (or code/name) IMPORTING. So incoming uid/code/name will
automatically be replaced by the equivalent/correct value before the system
start POSTing records.

Regards
Calle
