Using program rules with multi-select option sets to show conditional fields

Support - Assistance technique
1

Question:
After using a multi-select checkbox (option set), can program rules
detect selected values and show specific data elements (e.g. Qty Maize, Qty Beans)?

Which DHIS2 version supports this?

Example:
If user selects:
:check_box_with_check: Maize
:check_box_with_check: Beans

Then show:

  • Qty Maize
  • Qty Beans

Hi @scelo

Welcome back to the DHIS2 Community of Practice! :slight_smile: Your post is interesting, sounds like a project in the agriculture sector? :grin:

Yes, what version of DHIS2 are you using?

If you are in version 42+ you can use:

d2:containsItems(#{CropsSelected}, 'BEANS')

If you are in a previous version, please check out this suggested solution: Defining program rules for multiselect questions in dhis2 - #3 by Gassim

Hi @Gassim,

I’m using version 2.41.7. Perhaps it’s not in this version as you have mentioned above. Is there a documentation that shows how the analysis work in case I do an upgrade? Otherwise I guess I will stick with the current version and do (yes/No for all the choices as dataElements).

It’s actually a project looking at NCPs for children and there all sectors involved e.g. Health, Construction, Agriculture, Education, etc

Please share any resources that may help.

Thanks

The link I shared should work for your version.
