Urgent :yes/no Data Element Saving issue in Tracker form sometime

Hi

I have an urgent issue here, any leads will be helpful.

I have a few tracker data elements of Yes/No type that don’t save data value sometimes in a Tracker program. The value is successfully entered (check or cross in the box) but when I return to the form, it doesn’t show on the form AS WELL AS in REPORTS.

  • Its only sometimes that the value is not saved, because there are already about 700 records where the data value is saved.
  • Could it be because we have a custom css and since the yes/no data elements are changed from dropdown to radio buttons , it causes the problem sometimes.
  • It is only Yes/no elements that are not shown, rest of the element values on the form are shown.
  • Data element configuration is correct.
  • Replacing the DE with a new one might not be the resolution because we are not sure how many of such elements that do not save data sometime. Also, the issue surfaced only after we had about 600 records already saved. We guessed that there might be some change in the DB that causing the issue. But even after the issue was reported, data still keeps saving most of the time , and now we have a total of 700 records.
    Thank you

Hi Dipali

It implies your main question is you have some data element with input type specified as Yes/No in the form of check box which does’t save data value after periodic data entry in their associated respected dataset which does’t show entered values neither on data set form nor on any relative report !!! If this is true than, you are missing one step which need to perform in between these two process data entry and report generation which is “analytic”.

Regards,

Hi, yes its a really strange issue.

the custom css controls the font styling and other basic look of the screens to match our organizations’s standard.

Hi Abyot

We have been testing this issue rigorously and I feel this has some relation to the ‘complete button’ in program stage data entry.

Few data elements (mostly Yes/no and text type data elements) are not saved until I hit ‘Complete’ or ‘Complete and exit’. Other data element values on the same stage are saved.

Does ‘complete’ button have some implication on data saving in tracker?

Hi Abyot

I also checked the issue on the demo site and fortunately I could reproduce the error. Basically what happens is:

  • enter data in program stage: do not hit ‘complete’: yes/no data element values are not saved (I am able to enter yes or no value but the entered value is not shown on returning to the program stage entry page later), rest other values are saved and I can see them in the relevant fields upon returning to the program stage data entry page

  • enter data in program stage: hit’complete’ : yes/no data element values are saved. All other values are also saved.

From what’s happening I make out that user should always enter ‘complete’ button after data entry in program stages in tracker forms. To edit data they should always first ‘Incomplete’ and then edit and ‘Complete’ again.

Is this something known because I can’t find any reference to this in the user manuals.

Thank you in advance

Deepali
