Possible bug related to "value" field in datavalues in api/events.

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hello developers,

When requesting events with datavalues like here:

https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/events?page=0&pageSize=200&orgUnit=DiszpKrYNg8&program=eBAyeGv0exc&filter=lastUpdated:gt:2015-03-30T04:50:49.462+0000

some datavalues contain optionset “code” in “value” field instead of “name”.

For example: should contain “Discharged” as value instead of MODDISCH.

Could you please fix this as soon as possible?

Best Regards,

Araz

Hi Araz

I do not think this is a bug, but rather by design. You can see from here (https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataElements/fWIAEtYVEGk) that this data element has an option set (https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/optionSets/iDFPKpFTiVw) which you can determine the “clear text” value.

Regards,

Jason

Hello Jason,

Thanks for fast responding.

Oh, I have noticed right now that all data values contain only “code” in “value” field. Other option sets just specify the same values for name and code. That was the reason of confusion.

Thank you!

Regards,

Araz

That’s correct.

So from a client perspective, you need to fetch option sets, then translate the option values from code to name whenever you display it.

Please also remember that multiple names can point to the same code value, so you probably want to indicate that somehow in your UI, it is impossible to know which name was used when collecting the code.
