Feedback & Challenges with the New Multiple Choice Option Set in DHIS2

[Gassim (AL-Gassim Sharaf Addin)]

Hi @Mr_jorge

@Mr_jorge

1. Line Listing App Display Issue
When only one option is selected, the option name appears correctly in the Line Listing output (e.g., “Fever”).
However, when multiple options are selected, only the codes appear (e.g., “1,3”) — and not the names.

Also, these codes are not sorted numerically but reflect the order in which users selected them (e.g., “3,1,2” instead of “1,2,3”).
Is there a way to get the Line Listing app to return the option names instead of codes when multiple are selected?

This issue is reported here: Incorrect display of option names in Line Listing for a MULTI_TEXT dataElement with optionSet. You can find the response from @jan regarding Multi-text support in the Line Listing app as well as the linked feature request ticket: DHIS2-19640 - Support multi text data elements and attributes in Line Listing app.

2. Program Rule Complexity

It’d be much easier to keep the topic post focused on one specific issue so it’s easier to follow up. Would you kindly check the suggestion here: Defining program rules for multiselect questions in dhis2 - #3 by Gassim and if it doesn’t solve your use-case, would you mind moving the ‘program rule complexity’ section to a new topic post so we can continue the discussion and triage the issue.

Thank you!
