Setting Data Element number type

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hello Everyone,

I need to setup data elements with values “equal” or “higher” than 0.

It seems that I need to create a validation rules for each data elements, because ”Integer Positive” is for Positive Numbers but does not includes 0.

Does anyone knows how can I do this more simply ? Like using only the properties of the data element.

Thanks

Hello Gulam,

at the moment we only have data element types for positive and
negative values. Zero is considered a "neutral" integer and hence is
not included in any of those.

Is your requirement to use integers or real numbers (decimal values) ?

regards,

Lars

Thanks for your answer Lars.

Yes, is my requirement have the possibility to configure data elements with
positive numbers including 0.

When setting up data elements, I tried number type: "positive integer" and
store zero data value "Yes" , but does not allow the use of zero. (which
make sense to use, I think).

Okay. So then I assume that you want integers, not decimal numbers.

I have written up a blueprint here, with some implementation notes
under whiteboard:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/zero-positive-int-dataelement-type

Is this something that you / critical feel like taking on?

cheers
