All data elements in a data set must be mandatory

Support - Assistance technique

Hi all,
Regarding my previous mail about the “Edit Compulsory data element not working”. Has this been fixed? Am trying to make all fields(data element) mandatory, fields must greater than or equal to “0”. User should not be able to complete a form(data set) with filling on the fields(data elements) in the form(data set).What will be the best way to achieve this in DHIS2(2.21). Will the use of “Validation rules” help me achieve this?

Thanks,

Bayoh.

Hi All,
Am try to set certain data element as compulsory or mandatory in data set but some reason the assigned compulsory data element does not seem to have any effect on the data sets or forms. Forms or data sets can be completed even though they contain compulsory data element. Is this a bug or a my doing something wrong? My steps below.

From Data set App

  1. Select Data sets
  2. Left click on the desired Data set
  3. Select “Edit Compulsory Data Element” from the dropdown
  4. From the list of data element double on the desired data element
  5. then click save

From the Date entry App

  1. Select the data set/form you added the compulsory data element
  2. Field other fields in the form except the compulsory data element
  3. then click on “Complete”

Idealy the form should not be completed or submitted if the compulsory data element is not filled, but in my case the form / data set completes even though the compulsory data element was neglected.

Thanks,

Bayoh.

HI all and Lars,
As a follow up to my previous mail, What is the best way to make all fields in a data set(data entry form) mandatory in DHIS2 2.21. Ideally the user must enter a number or a zero in-order to complete the form.

Thanks,

Bayoh.
