Re: [Dhis2-devs] can't delete data element

 

Hi Lorill,

in 2.25 we introduced "soft data value" delete, meaning that in the
database we simply mark data values as deleted using the "deleted" property
(this is transparent to the users). This means that foreign key constraints
from data value audit values should not be a problem anymore. Let us know
if that solves it.

regards,

Lars
