Tracked entity removal not possible

Support - Assistance technique

Hi everyone,

We have a tracked entity called group in a our DHIS 2 system. We have different groups’ activities we are following: group of boys, group of girls.

For group 1 (boys), we have the following attributes: Group name, Grp code, phone number

For group 2 (girls), we have the following attributes: Group name, DEB code, phone number.

We are facing a problem when we create a tracker for group 2 as we when try to remove Grp code from attributes to replace it with DBE code, we get an error “Cannot remove attribute inherited from Tracked Entity Type”. Because we have data already entered for Grp code, it is not possible to remove it. What can we do since we think it makes no sense to create another tracked entity?

Thanks

Hi @dmbantu

Since this attribute doesn’t apply to all TEs then maybe consider using data element instead or another option if you can’t remove GRP, add the DEB code attribute at the same time?
