We already have Organisation Units set up in our instances of DHIS. We have added an attribute to Org Units. We want to populate that attribute with external data in a bulk fashion. Is there a way to do that via a Data Import from the front end or is it something we’d need to do via the backend? (The bulk update will be a one-time occurrence.)
Thanks in advance.

I’m sorry for the late reply, but yes… this is possible.
For every org unit payload, there will be a property called “attributeValues”: , you can add values using the payload { “value”: “value”, “attribute”: { “id”: “attribute-id” } }.
Another way of seeing this is to simply add values using the UI, and then have a look at the payload in /api/organisationUnits/ID.json
