Run Validation showing wrong validation results

Support - Assistance technique

In one of our national DHIS2 2.29 implementation, we have validation rule which is like -
L1+L2-L3+L4 = R
We have 4 Elements on the left side, the calculation should match with one Element in the right side. For most of the facilities Run Validation validates properly. But for some facilities and some specific month, the Run Validation fails although the values are correct!
Look at the entry form, the product with serial# 1, 61-14 = 47, the rule should validate -

entryform2420×965 184 KB

See the validation results, the first line shows left side 61 and right side 0 (which is wrong, right side is 47 as we see in the entry form above) -

validationresults
validationresults2612×520 63.1 KB

Moreover, if we change the values in the entry form, say we set all L & R to 0, and click Run Validation - the same results are shown as above images and the form does not validate. Any new data entry validates properly.
I am guessing the ValidationResults are saved and somehow cannot refresh. Based on what we know, Validation Rules cannot be deleted from front-end if there are ValidationResults in database…and we don’t have database access.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello @Mahmud,

Thank you for your detailed issue description.

In some ways, at least your latter point, seem to be related to this JIRA issue, that ValidationResults persist after issue is solved: [DHIS2-3445] - Jira

Checking with the dev team, it might seem like this is by design to ensure an audit of what have been wrong - but understandable this can be confusing to a user. I will follow up again with the dev team about how we can potentially make it clearer to the user.

Best regards,
Karoline
