Hi Pariya, An archetype may introduce a constraint so that during the recording of data, you may use a quantity and one of the allowed units. Just think about the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees (Thomas Beale's example). Wrappers do have access to ADL, but in these kind of situations, ADL provides more than one option, so the wrapper can't know which unit it is going to use. If there is only one option, the wrapper should automatically use that. I don't think I've added that convenience, so that is probably what got you confused.
