Hello, I have 2 questions/suggestions for the Android Team,
Option Sets:
I noticed a challenge with Option Sets in the Android Data Capture app.
I am **unable to save values in an Option Set if the name is text and the code is an integer** (1 hour = 60, 2 hours = 120). The sync log indicates that data was imported successfully, but it does not import. While troubleshooting, I noticed that if I select “1 hour” in my web browser for data entry, it will appear in the Android app as the value 60. This helped me to identify the issue as a mismatch between name and code.
The good news is that I have no problem saving Option Sets where both name and code are text, or both are integers. In order to fix the issue, I changed the name to match the code (name=0, code=0), the value was saved properly in the Android App.
Android version: 1.6.6
DHIS2 Version: 2.27
Build revision: 94df818
Build date: 2017-09-30 06:25
Data Set Completion
The Data Capture app does not have the ability to mark a dataset complete. Is this in the pipeline? This would help with our workflow and with triggering validation rules to run.

Android uses an ‘explicit save’ approach, where no data is saved until a ‘Save’ button is tapped.
Clicking ‘Save’ not only saves the Data Set, it also automatically marks it
as ‘complete’ (There are no separate buttons for ‘complete’ or ‘incomplete’).
This allows edits of existing ‘incomplete’ Data Sets. Just viewing an ‘incomplete’ Data Set on Android
will not ‘complete’ it unless the ‘Save’ button is also clicked.
Hope it helps!

We’ve looked at it and there was a bug in how data is sent to the server. We already have a solution to integrate into the next version but in the meanwhile, I’ve submitted a new issue in Jira for this (https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/ACA-305).
Thank you for detecting the bug and for finding the workaround. I’ve explained in the Jira issue the details of why the bug is happening. I hope it helps.
