Health Indexes: limited to a single "indicator weight" value

Hi Devs

Are we any closer to implementing custom attribute values for indicator + group pairings? We want to develop health index calculators at the indicator-group membership level which requires us to define a “weight” value for this pair combination. This seems the logical place to assign an attribute value. However this is not currently supported in DHIS2 (attribute values are limited to objects with a single primary key) and by the looks of things the changes required to implement this functionality are significant.

Right now the indicator-attribute value limits us to a single “weight” value but this does little to help when other implementations are assigning indicators to multiple groups. Fortunately (in ZA) we’re still working with single group allocations for elements and indicators but we’re foreseeing this type of functionality as necessary in the future…

Kind Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

unfortunately we do not have this kind of feature on the road map per now.

Hi Lars

Actually I’m more interested to know about the changes to the analytics API so that it includes the numerator + denominator values so optional columns. The indexes can wait :slight_smile:

Greg
