Hello DHIS2 Devs! API question for the API Gurus:
During configuration on a recent project, maybe dis-aggregation groups were changed and updated after their Category Option Combos were initially generated. They do not have data associated with them, but I think that is beside the point for my question. Even if they did have data, I'm asking for a why to get the "current" CatOptCombos, rather than "every" CatOptCombo that has ever been assigned to this Catcombo. Using the demo server, say I change: Morbidity Cases to Morbidity Cases + Gender https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryCombos/t3aNCvHsoSn The API response for this one will go from: <categoryOptionCombos> <categoryOptionCombo id="S34ULMcHMca" code="COC_358963" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/S34ULMcHMca";> <name>0-11m</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="jOkIbJVhECg" code="COC_358966" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/jOkIbJVhECg";> <name>15y+</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="wHBMVthqIX4" code="COC_358964" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/wHBMVthqIX4";> <name>12-59m</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="SdOUI2yT46H" code="COC_358965" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/SdOUI2yT46H";> <name>5-14y</name> </categoryOptionCombo> </categoryOptionCombos> To: <categoryOptionCombos> <categoryOptionCombo id="Q1wnnh5N6xV" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.228+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.228+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/Q1wnnh5N6xV";> <name>0-11m, Female</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="wHBMVthqIX4" code="COC_358964" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/wHBMVthqIX4";> <name>*12-59m*</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="uTaBiwZwiPL" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.230+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.230+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/uTaBiwZwiPL";> <name>0-11m, Male</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="Up9OdlykfWA" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.233+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.233+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/Up9OdlykfWA";> <name>5-14y, Female</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="iKsHpNDzlwC" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.237+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.238+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/iKsHpNDzlwC";> <name>15y+, Female</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="OvNfjvOJCoK" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.231+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.231+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/OvNfjvOJCoK";> <name>12-59m, Female</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="wIZ6pgCauQZ" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.232+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.232+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/wIZ6pgCauQZ";> <name>12-59m, Male</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="SdOUI2yT46H" code="COC_358965" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/SdOUI2yT46H";> <name>*5-14y*</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="S34ULMcHMca" code="COC_358963" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/S34ULMcHMca";> <name>*0-11m*</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="jOkIbJVhECg" code="COC_358966" created="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" lastUpdated="2011-12-24T12:24:25.319+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/jOkIbJVhECg";> <name>*15y+*</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="YfbYe5fnM0M" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.234+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.235+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/YfbYe5fnM0M";> <name>5-14y, Male</name> </categoryOptionCombo> <categoryOptionCombo id="wSlHZb6eO6B" created="2015-11-16T19:07:02.239+0000" lastUpdated="2015-11-16T19:07:02.239+0000" href=" https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/api/categoryOptionCombos/wSlHZb6eO6B";> <name>15y+, Male</name> </categoryOptionCombo> </categoryOptionCombos> So *rightly*, it retains its older CatOptCombos, because of course there might be data associated with those in the datavalue table. So I'm not looking to prune these. Without writing something to crawl through the api to figure out the "current" state, is there an existing API call that can do this? I know there must be, or someone has done it in JAVA because the data entry forms all can tell the "current" dis-aggregations without issue. Thanks and let me know if I can clarify my ask any better.
