Re: Data Element Category Combination not combining

 

Thanks Marta and Lars, I will double-check and try out your suggestions and get back to you.
For now, the database using the dhis2 version 2.4 is not in production so not yet online. I wanted to be sure everything works perfectly alright before updating the version on our server, which is the version 2.3.
Thank you so much.
John.

Hi John, 

The same happened to me, and the point was that I added a Data Element Category to the Data Element Category Combination when it (the combination) was already assigned to a data element, wich also was already assigned to a data set. 
The solution was to create again the Category Combination and assing it to the data element. Not elegant... but it did work :) 

So I suggest...  make sure you did everything in the order " categories , categories combination, data element, data set " and if you didn't or don't remember... Create a new category combination from scratch and check if it works then.

Hope it helps!

Marta
