Cannot edit data in Android Capture app

Support - Assistance technique
1

I set up a DHIS2 2.36 server instance for development purposes, configured a data set and organization units, and was successfully able to enter data using the web app.

However when I log in to the same instance from the DHIS2 Capture mobile app (v2.4), the forms are presented in read-only mode and I am unable to enter or edit data.

Is there a configuration I am missing to allow for editing of data from the Android app?

Thanks.

Welcome and thank you for posting to the community @dsurrao!

I found the issue. Under User role management, I had to check “Add/Update Public” and “Delete” for the “Data Value” metadata setting.

Editing from the Android app now works.

Thanks!

Just faced a similar issue, I had already allocated permissions to the user but the Android application said the form could not be edited.

What worked was clearing the cache and storage on the Android device under the device’s Settings.
