Re: adding a new event status

 

Hi Eric,

I understand your question. We do not plan to add additional enum options
though which are not used by DHIS 2 internally as it will cause confusion
for developers.

For app development purposes I would recommend that you instead create a
data element which could be called "Validated", have a particular code
(e.g. "VALIDATION_STATUS") and be of value type Yes/No (boolean). You can
then in your app set a corresponding data value through the regular events
resource of true or false, and then use this to keep the validation state.
This of course creates a dependency on the configuration which should be
documented.

regards,

Lars
