Thank you Nayeem,
Sorry for shooting off the email before reading properly.
In the case of tracked entity attributes, one of the main advantages for
the uniqueness scope is that it is a very reliable data point for avoiding
duplication of data. If you try and register a person and the national ID
entered already exists in the system - you would open her existing record
instead of creating a new one. In your case you want to enter a specimen ID
from lab as a data element in a program stage. I assume the specimen ID
would be printed on a piece of paper, and entered into the system when
registering the lab sample? Two questions to help understand the usecase
better:
- What would you suspect being the the main reason for duplication of
values of the "Specimen ID" of a lab program stage? And where would the
duplication generally be?
- What would the clinican do if trying to enter a specimen ID, and the
system prevents her from doing so because it would cause a duplication?
The issue from Alex seems to be that a data element should be or is not
only unique, but generated by the tracker program itself?
Best regards,
Markus

Dear Markus
The issue you have shared is talking about custom attribute generation.
My proposal is to make data element unique.
The draft document for CBS demo design uploaded in knowledge gateway
proposed repeatable stage for specimen tracking and lab result. We can't
use attribute in program stage. But lab require unique ID. As a result
either we need to add feature to make data element unique or allow
attribute to be added in program stage to design the specimen ID as
unique and include it in repeatable stage.

Dear Nayeem,
could this issue be more or less the feature that you needed?
DHIS2-434 <[DHIS2-434] - Jira;
Is it possible to add your specific requirements if there is anything
else we should think of working on this issue?

Dear Nayeem,
We had the same issue and fixed with custom form. We had to generate the
unique identifier.
I support the addition of the feature.

Dear All CBS members
Specimen ID in Lab require unique value in organisation unit.
As draft document of CBS in DHIS2 suggested to design Lab result in a
separate stage, it is important to have the functionality to make data
element unique. It will help to prevent wrong data entry in some values
like specimen ID from Lab.
I have put in jira but still open:
[DHIS2-2458] - Jira
Another way to address this issue is allowing assignment of attribute to
program stages. So Specimen ID from lab can made it unique as attribute.
Any other idea?
