Change Yes/No data element display text on data entry form

Dear all,

Can I change “No value” display text for a Yes/No data element to something else? I would like the text “Unknown” to appear on the data entry form instead.

I am using v2.22.

Thanks,

Hi Ryan,

sorry that is not possible at the moment.

A workaround is to create an option set with three options and assign it to your data elements. Its a good idea to think through how you want to aggregate these values if so in terms of which codes you assign to the options.

regards,

Lars
