Hi Devs, The problem I reported yesterday has actually turned out to be what I think is a new bug in 2.25, which is stopping XML imports for data elements.
No matter what I do, any attempt at an XML import of data elements seems to throw the error “DataElementCategoryCombo Missing required property `categoryCombo`”, even if a valid CategoryCombo is supplied. The same XML import works fine in 2.21. To reproduce on play.dhis2.org: · Using the import/export module, do an XML export of data elements only. · Delete all data elements from the XML except DE_1148614 (which uses the default CategoryCombo), and change the user of that data element to <user id="xE7jOejl9FI"/>. · To circumvent a couple of other export/import bugs: 1. delete the three ‘<’ characters (which have been exported as plaintext instead of <) 2. delete the <attributeValues> tags (I have no idea why these tags are failing) · Import this XML file back into play.dhis2.org. The import fails, and the import summary has the error message “DataElementCategoryCombo Missing required property `categoryCombo`” – despite the fact that the data element has the default categoryCombo id. I’ve attached the XML I extracted from play.dhis2.org to speed up testing. I’d be very grateful if you could look into this urgently, as I can’t currently do XML imports into my 2.25 instance. Many thanks, Sam.

My understanding from the documentation (and the email thread below) is that if the CategoryCombo for a data element is null, then during metadata import the data element will automatically be assigned the local ‘default’ CategoryCombo; the problem is that I can’t figure out how to represent this ‘null’ CategoryCombo in the XML. I’ve tried: · simply removing all <CategoryCombo /> tags from the data elements in the XML; · using <CategoryCombo id=null/>; · using <CategoryCombo id=""/> · using <CategoryCombo code="default"/>. In 2.25, all of these throw the error “DataElementCategoryCombo Missing required property `categoryCombo`”… How can I get these data elements to take on the local ‘default’ CategoryCombo as the XML is loaded? Many thanks for any help anyone is able to give! Regards, Sam.

This was not a problem in 2.20.

The fix for ensuring that a imported DEs with CatCombo=null are set to default is only available in 2.23, latest build. Any 2.23 build, but yes. The only workaround available right now for 2.22, that avoids re-starting tomcat (which makes the necessary correction at start-up) is to make sure that when importing DEs, we set the CatCombo to default in the XML/ CSV. Correct.

Hi, these kinds of issues are fixed in our new importer (available in 2.23), for now I would include the default category combo.
