DHIS API JSON Structure clarity

Implementation - Implémentation
1

Hi everyone,

May I please have a clarity on the DHIS2 json structure for importing data. I understand some fields but I don’t understand others for an example with the trackerEntity(tackedentityinstance) isn’t it suppose to auto generate when you import the data. Another example of what I don’t understand is the enrollment uid where do I get it from because it is not there in my DHIS2. Please view the attached json object that I am trying to understand.

Hi @1c699b409a68f19fba95

In the case where the the UID is related to new values that you are importing, I think that if you don’t enter a UID, it will automatically be generated. However, if you enter a specific UID that is a correct format (doesn’t start with a number and is within a certain length) for example MSakhileH7w it will be imported as is.

Thank you I figured it out. But now I have a new problem in my import. The data elements in the dataValues in events are not imported whereas all the other attributes are. Otherwise, all the other data shows on my DHIS2 tracker list. What would you advise me to do?
