IncomeAndSources: list of mandatory fields is different between XML and CSV #186

Hi @eric-jahn ,

IncomeAndSources has many mandatory fields that are optional in CSV. Shouldn't they be consistent with CSV? Please advise.

Maybe IncomeFromAnySource should be mandatory but other fields should be optional?

Best regards, Natalie

I'm realizing I shouldn't have made this change. IncomeFromAnySource and related fields are required to have a values, per the FY2020 HMIS Data Standard. The CSV format can not require it, because the table is denormalized with the other benefits, so they need to be nillable to skip them. But with the XML, the whole IncomeAndSources data element can be independently skipped. "If there is a "no" response to 'Income from Any Source' then the HMIS must automatically record all sources as "no" and leave dollar amounts null of $0.00."

Hi @eric-jahn , But if 'Income from Any Source' = Data not collected, or Rejected, then other fields are not asked so they must be optional, correct?

Oh right, for 8/9/99 values, they would be optional. Oh, good, I can keep this change. Thank you! :)

Except IncomeFromAnySource still needs to be made mandatory, like you originally suggested in the first comment, lol. :)
