Mandatory denominator when adding indicators of type Number

Hi Devs,
I have noticed that one must add a 1 as a denominator for indicators of type number. This is not the case in v 2.20 but in v2.22 and v2.23, since the new data element/indicators app was introduced. Is this intentional or its a bug. In addition the new DE/IND maintenance app though having a nice look is not very user friendly as one must always right click to bring up the menu compared to the old one.

It is intentional. The “number” option for indicators caused a great deal of confusion to people so we decided to simply remove it. You can just put 1 as the denominator.

This I will say is debatable :wink: Using right-click to open context menus is common, see e.g. google docs. I know we have a bit of inconsistency between old and new apps here, but we are working towards making all context menus opening by right-click.

best regards,

Lars
