I don’t want bahmni users to be able to manually insert an ID for a patient - I want automatic generation only.

Is it possible to hide “Enter ID” from the patient registration page?

Hello,

That field is not configurable right now… It is hidden by default only if Patient Id has to be entered manually every time.

look at this [discussion](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/enter-own-identifier-by-default-for-new-patient/6210) for more details

It seems one can hide the EnterID field using the configuration mentioned here: [https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BAH/pages/32014595/Configure+Patient+Registration#ConfigurePatientRegistration-13.ConfigureEnterIDfield](https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BAH/pages/32014595/Configure+Patient+Registration#ConfigurePatientRegistration-13.ConfigureEnterIDfield)

This is what it looks like once hidden:
