Re: Posting Metadata in dhis2.

 

Hi Isaiah,

You have


"parent":"vpiZlB5cdK7"


It should be

parent":{"id":"vpiZlB5cdK7"}}

Be sure your JSON structure is exactly as it should be, otherwise, you will
get those kinds of errors. Study the example here
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jason-p-pickering/dhis2-data-munging/master/ous/ous.json>
.

Regards,
Jason
