Data Elements and Category Options Not Showing Up in Form Designer

Hello All,

We are encountering this issue with the form designer where either the data element does not show up in the form designer i.e. after having been assigned to a dataset, or some of the category options do not show up.

In this instance I have a data element disaggregated by testing modalities, sex, and age (age categories <1,1-4,5-9,10-14,15-19,20-24,25-29,30-34,35-39,40-44,45-49,50+).

The way it is showing up, a number of the age bands are missing in the form designer and it is not uniform. E.g. VCT has female 15-19, VCT is missing male 15-19.

I have run maintenance, generated resource tables, run analytics, removed the options from the category combo and put them back again, but still not showing up.

We use custom forms a lot and this is not the first time we are encountering this, but then, not to this degree.

Can anybody please help with this?

We are running DHIS2 ver 2.27 Build revision: a8283e0 Build date: 2017-09-21 06:25

Thank you.

Warm Regards,

Ifeanyi

You may want to upgrade to the latest build. We had a similar problem with 2.27 (on a build from August) and we just upgraded this very minute to the latest build 37edfc2 (Nov 8, 2017) and the problem appears fixed.

Hello Laura,

Thank you for your response.

We are currently running the 22nd Nov (dbf5f18) build of version 2.27 which we upgraded to on Thursday, this past week but the issue is still persisting.

I have recreated the category option combination and applied it to the data element but the same issue is still persisting. When I do a metadata export from the API, the missing categories are not on the list. It is as though DHIS does not even create them for whatever reason.

I don’t know if anyone can provide some insight on what we could do to fix this since upgrading did not help.

It’s affecting our roll out plans.

Thank you once again.

Warm Regards,

Ifeanyi
