Defining Compulsory Data Element Unsuccessfull

Dear Users,

I would like to report the following issue when changing some data elements to be compulsory for the data entry. This DE was already used for a dataset. Please find attached 2 screenshots during the data compulsory edition and the associated unsuccessful message. I am wondering if this is due to the fact that there is already some existing empty values in the data element, or is this issue linked with other consideration?

I am using DHIS2 2.25.

Regards,

Tantely.

Hello Raminosoa,

The issue is because the Data Element has already been used for data entry and changing the property of the DE at this time will bring about some violations.

The solution is to create another DE with the compulsory attribute and remove the previous one from the Dataset.

But you might need to trade with the data that was previously entered using the DE.

Regards

Hi Barnabas,

Thank you for this straightforward workaround. Would it then possible via SQL view (or another way?) to transfer the existing data of the old DE to the new one? By doing so, we can also set the empty value to an hypothetic one, so that the new DE won’t contain any null value.

Yes. That should be possible if you have access to the DB and you know the element ID, categoryoptioncombo and attributeoptioncombo of both the old and new DEs.
The easiest work around for me would be to export the data to CSV and import into the new DE.

You’re right! This is the quickest way.

Thank you Barnabas. I could work with this method.
