Hi John,

I get your point and I think we made a mistake with the "allow future
period" property - it should instead have been an enumeration with at least
three options

- allow past periods
- allow current and past periods
- allow future, current and past periods

Blueprint here
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/dataset-period-data-capture-control>.
We will fix.

Lars
