Updates on the Protection Concerns look-up

Hello team

I hope you are all well and healthy,

I have more of a logical case scenario than a technical question. So, the Case Management working group in Iraq has demanded changes in the protection concerns list (look-up)

Changes include addition of list items, deletion, and changing as follows:

One to one: same list item but different text

One to many: one option to be replaced by two or more options

Many to one: merging of two or more options into one

I intend on doing the following:

Deletion :

The old option will be disable so it doesn’t show up as an option anymore

It will still show up in the old records (cases), if selected

Change :

Options that are changed from one to one (same option, different term):

Option’s text will be changed

This will be applied for old records as well

Options that are changed from one to many:

The old option will be disabled

The old option will still show up in old records, if selected

The new options will be added to the list

Options that are changed from many to one:

The old options will be disabled

The old options will still show up in old records, if selected

The new option will be added

Addition :

Options will be added to the list

Please let me know if you think this will raise issues in the system, especially regarding old records.

To summarize for the community, any “disabled” data will always be preserved in Primero. Therefore you can hide and unhide options at any time. If you change an option, this will replace the option field name but not the database name, which will relabel that option where ever it appears. Any new options will be added to the bottom of list by default, which you can reorder as you wish.
