Steven-

Looks like a typo in our documentation.  Under Obs->Numeric it should read "You 
can also specify a constrained list of answers, as radio button or a dropdown 
(Since 1.6.1)"  I corrected this.

The radio set issue is a bug... it probably is doing a string comparison when 
repopulating the radio sets when it really should do a numeric comparison so 
that 3.0 = 3.  Can you enter a ticket for this?  Go ahead and attach the code 
snippet and the image to the ticket...

Thanks,
Mark

Oh, sorry, I'd misunderstood.

I think you're right that HFE doesn't support having a checkbox for a numeric 
value.

To me, what you're trying to do sounds like the wrong approach. If you've got 
distinct values that can be checked, those really should be coded concepts (I'm 
assuming that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are codes in a list...) and not numeric...

Hello!

The below doesn't work because it tries to use the answerConceptId too look up 
a concept rather than use the raw number as an answer.

I did try something simalar and from fiddling with it, and having taken a quick 
grep through the code, I don't *think* we support style=checkbox for numeric 
types at all.  If you use checkbox, it switches back to the default single 
selection combo box.

There are 2 images attached.  The one with CD4 combos is produced from:

<obs conceptId="5497" labelText="CD4" answers="100" answerLabels="100" 
style="checkbox"/>
<obs conceptId="5497" labelText="CD4" answers="500" answerLabels="500" 
style="checkbox"/>
<obs conceptId="5497" labelText="CD4" answers="1400" answerLabels="1400" 
style="checkbox"/>

Also, one interesting thing I've found from trying to use a number of seperate 
<obs/> tags with type radio, is that it get's a bit confused when it renders 
the screen to go back and view or edit an existing encounter. The observations 
are being recorded correctly in the database from the original form submission, 
but on the rerender, it correctly populates the smallest number in the recorded 
obs, but adds a decimal to the others and creates extra widgets for them.

For example, given the following markup and submitting a form with 1, 3, and 4 
selected:

          <repeat>
            <template>
              <obs conceptId="7481" labelText="" answers="{num}.0" 
answerLabels="{num}" style="radio" />
            </template>
            <render num="1" /><render num="2" /><render num="3" /><render 
num="4" /><render num="5" /><render num="6" />
          </repeat>

Results in the other attached image where the 1 radio is refilled, but new 
entries are created for 3.0 and 4.0 rather than just using 3 and 4.

Hi Steve,

How about
<obs conceptId="9876" answerConceptId="1" style="checkbox" />
<obs conceptId="9876" answerConceptId="2" style="checkbox" />
<obs conceptId="9876" answerConceptId="3" style="checkbox" />

Hello OpenMRS Dev,

I'm trying to implement part of a paper form that has a "circle all" type of 
area that binds to a numeric concept, and haven't found the right HTML Form 
Entry tag yet for that.

Essentially, I want:

<obs conceptId="9876" answers="1,2,3" answerLabels="1,2,3" style="checkbox" />

So that multiple observations can be recorded for it, but it doesn't look like 
we accept style="checkbox" yet for numeric obs?

I played with:

<obs conceptId="9876" answers="1" answerLabels="1" style="radio" />
<obs conceptId="9876" answers="2" answerLabels="2" style="radio" />
<obs conceptId="9876" answers="3" answerLabels="3" style="radio" />

Which sort of works, but they should really be checkboxes.

Cheers,
Steve
