Hi,

I'm not sure if auto-replicating the previous month's value for a
missing month is such a good idea. It's conceptually very similar to
the ability in DHIS 1.x to use regression analysis to insert missing
values, BUT we always blocked that for recent months - the idea was
always that using regression analysis to insert missing values was a
last resort which only could/should be available after several months
(i.e. after all other avenues to get the missing data are exhausted).

regards
Calle
