Hi, I think if we are to create a blueprint it should be for an option per data set, like "Make compulsory data elements required fields in form".
Currently the main purpose of the compulsory data elements is to define which elements should be used for completeness / reporting rates. Form validation is a slightly different concern. regards, Lars On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:57 AM, Knut Staring <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Nayeem, > It was more a question for the developers, as we try not to clutter the BP > list too much ;-) > > Knut > > > On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 10:55 AM, Nayeem Al Mifthah <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Yeah... why not? >> >> *Nayeem Al Mifthah* >> HMIS C >> onsultant >> Management Information System >> Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Bangladesh >> Supported by: UNICEF >> -Bangladesh >> >> Email: *[email protected] <[email protected]>* >> * | [email protected] <[email protected]>* >> Cell:*+8801914030574* >> >> >> On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 2:52 PM, Knut Staring <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Yes, I have been missing this for a long time.
