In 1.6, at least, you can’t have two identical identifiers of the same identifier type… we were just looking into this… I believe there is a PatientIdentifierValidator that is called on all patient identifiers for a patient from the savePatient API method… in any case, start with the savePatient API method and you should be able to track it down from there.

We are working through some duplicate patient identifier issues at AMPATH and I could've sworn that uniqueness as a property of patient identifier types, yet it's not in the UI.[1] How do we define that a patient identifier type must be unique within OpenMRS? Did we somehow lose this over time?!? -Burke [1] http://maml.in/xHkKVg<http://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/admin/patients/patientIdentifierType.form?patientIdentifierTypeId=1> ________________________________ Click here to unsubscribe<mailto:[email protected]?body=SIGNOFF%20openmrs-devel-l> from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list
