Query regarding DataElements domainType

Support - Assistance technique
#1

Hello All,

We were creating “data elements” with “domainType as patient” in dhis through our app.

But we just realized that “patient” is not there in “domainType drop-down” anymore.

There are only 2 values that we can select (aggregate and tracker) .

Just wanted to confirm if “tracker” is to be used in place of “patient” or there are some other changes to come.

Hi Mansi,

that’s correct, tracker is a plain replacement for patient. It is part of the terminology change from patient* to tracked entity*.

In the data model you will see a change from string discriminators to enum. In the database you will see a change from:

aggregate -> AGGREGATE

patient -> TRACKER

We just did a change to the startup routines so please upgrade your local repo.

regards,

Lars
