Unable to Edit Favorites if "No Values Found"

Hello DHIS2 Devs,

System: DHIS 2.18, Only Monthly Datasets

Issue: On February 1st, several of our 2014 data visualizer favorites started to return “No Values Found”, but they had been working fine the day before. Feb 1st means we have a complete period for 2015, so I’m assuming it is because the creator selected ‘Current Year’ instead of manually selecting ‘2014’. The issue now is that we cannot seem to load/edit those favorites while there is no data for 2015.

Suggestion: Even if no values are returned, load the favorite into the left hand pane so the user can see the selected criteria for the chart and make edits/fixes. This can also be used a tool for teaching new comers who are having trouble with the data visualizer, e.g. Others will be able to critique the criteria used and make suggestions even if no values are found.

Work Around: Put dummy data in for 2015 for the affected charts, run analytics, edit/fix the charts, remove dummy data [rerun analytics].

-or-

Remake each of the effected favorites from scratch and ‘overwrite’ the old ones

Hi Timothy,

the data selection user interface will now be updated even when no values are returned. Fixed in trunk and backported to 2.18.
