Mandatory results fields

[jahnvidave]

Hi AidStream,

There are a couple of fields in the Results element that have been set as mandatory fields on AidStream, which are not always required by the IATI Standard.

This is preventing some publishers from updating their data, as they are not able to save their data without filling in these fields.

The fields are:

Indicator Reference

Baseline Year and Value

Please can you have a look into this?

Many thanks, Jahnvi

Hello Jahnvi,

Thank you for pointing out those issues to us. Those listed out have been managed in AidStream.

We have slight confusion regarding, Baseline > year attribute in following scenario: If user enters any baseline attribute such as value, we allow user to save as it is? Do we need to make user mandatory to fill up year attribute or not? It will be of great help if this confusion could be cleared up as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards, Karuna

Hi Karuna,

Thank you for working on these issues.

Regarding the Baseline > year attribute: If a user enters any baseline attribute (such as value), the year attribute is then mandatory and users must fill it in.

Do let me know if any other clarifications are needed.

Best wishes, Jahnvi

Hello Jahnvi,

We have made the changes in Result element as per the IATI standards. Now Indicator Reference and Baseline attributes are made optional. But with the requirement of IATI standards such as @value of Baseline, Target, & Actual must be included for non-qualitative measures, fields will get changed.

Thank you!

Many thanks, Jahnvi
