Value type error with option set

Support - Assistance technique
1

Dear all,

  • I have a DE “Sex” with Number value type. Domain type: Tracker

  • I have a option set “SexOpt” with Number value type too. It has options: Name “Male” Code 1 and Name “Female” code 2.

  • I set “SexOpt” for DE “Sex”.

When I enter data for an Entity in program an error occurs: Value must be a number: Male (or Female) if I choose any option in list (or radio button).

Please help me.

Thanks.

Change the value type for your sex variable to text. Enter text values for the name and code for the option values e.g. Female for name and Female for code then for the second value also enter male for name and male for code.

Dear Timothy Kiyemba,

Thanks for your help.

The point is the domain type of my DE is “tracker” so if it has “text” value type I can’t set aggregation type!

Best,

Phi

Dear Bs Phi,

For Sex, you can sex value type is text, then aggregation type is None. You can use program indicator or Aggregated in Event report to get aggregated value, you don’t need to put it as Number.

When you change the value type to text, the aggregation type should be changed to None automatically like screenshot below:

Dear Phi

In the new versions (I have seen from 2.24 to newer) the problem has been solved.

You can make option code in numeric and the data entry screen will not create any problem unless you made anything with custom form

Please let me know which version you are using.
