Timestamp returning date in web api call for data=

Support - Assistance technique

vlaue set
et

So what do we want here=2C a full timestamp as in numbers=2C or a full ISO =
8601 string? We have had it likes this for several releases now=2C and it h=
as the potential to break external users.
I'm not too happy with the name "timestamp"=2C but I guess that's minor..=

Rajib probably meant for this Web API call.
Trying out the Web API Call mentioned in the doc on "Reading Large bulks of=
data value"
http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataValueSets.xml?dataSet=3DpBOMPrpg1QX&data=
Set=3DBfMAe6Itzgt&startDate=3D2013-01-01&endDate=3D2013-01-31&orgUnit=3DYuQ=

Yes=2C I can see the timestamp lists only date and I agree would be good th=
at its a full timestamp instead of date only.

Hi Rajib=2C
Looking at the following query=2C there is in fact no dataelement lastupdat=
ed for dataValueSets=2C perhaps you are referring to completedDate?=0A=

Hello=2C
=0A=

We=0A=
are using DHIS2 2.13 as the backend system for Kolkata Medical =0A=
Emergency System. The concept note of the project can be found here: =0A=
http://www.missionarogya.org/p/kmes.html\. The online portal is using the we=
b-apis

The datavaluesets web-api calls are returning the lastupdated timestamp for=
the dataelement. But it returns it as a date instead of a timestamp as fol=
lowing: timestamp=3D"2013-10-16"
