Thanks for the updates @maxk, good to see the single events and aggregate surveillance packages.

We are considering using DHIS2 for COVID-19 surveillance here in Laos. While testing the event program in “row view” mode, I came across an error with the assigned date of onset, see below (“error encountered during field validation”) which prevents the event from being saved. This doesn’t occur when entering data in Form View mode.

It also seems that the assigned date of onset is automatically set to the report date for asymptomatic cases (and to date of symptoms for others), rather than allowing for manual entry of the date. I can’t check the program rules so would appreciate if someone could look into this, or explain what I’m doing wrong.

In addition, is it possible to 1) disable future dates for onset of symptoms and event date, and 2) add a program rule to avoid dates of symptoms and/or onset to be after the event date?

Thanks,

Bram

Hey Bram, this part seems like a bug in the Capture app. Here is a jira issue: [DHIS2-8519] - Jira
The issue is fixed, and will be reaching you in the upcoming DHIS2 point releases.

Best regards
Markus
