@Gassim please while waiting for an update, is there another way to get the number of expected report in denominators ?

[Gassim (AL-Gassim Sharaf Addin)]

Sorry @Guy_Ekani! I am triaging the bug issue; however, Did you try using the Maps app?

[Guy_Ekani]

Most of our outputs are in tables and graphs, seems to works for single value and maps

Thank you @phil,

But we still have issues with outputs (graph and table) when period is set as category and indicators having dataset metrics type in denominators.

Please could you advise ?

Hi @Guy_Ekani

Yes, please note that this is not a maintenance patch with bugfixes, only a security hotfix to secure against the recent “spring4shell” vulnerability.

@Guy_Ekani, core team experts have been looking at this issue and the final recommendation is to update to the ~latest build of your version because it is working fine~[sorry, see Phil’s post below, thanks!]. Please see this jira bug issue for more details: Indicators with reporting rates in expression not working with OU dimension as filter

Thanks! 👍

Just to be clear @Guy_Ekani @Gassim, this problem exist in the latest stable release. It is resolved for the next maintenance release. The only way to get the fix immediately is to take what we call a Canary build (nightly build of the development version) - we don’t recommend using Canary build for your production version unless you perform thorough regression testing yourself.

[Guy_Ekani]

Thank you for your advice @phil, we are waiting for the stable build that will include this fix.
