Apologies for not getting back sooner - holidays left me without contact to my development machine while I was travelling
I have now understood the text/label edit process on the design surface and so overcome one of my earlier problems above.
As requested I have (partially) recreated by form (remember this was for patient registration in order to capture some demographics not within the reference app demographic section).
So far no errors are reported if I download the xml, but I have yet to extend the schema for the extra data items. However as above when I apply the form (MATest) and submit, then the entered data does not display if I revisit the form for the same patient eg add an additional contact/relationship.
In the ref. app I had chosen encounter type to be ADULTINITIAL (seems like the right thing for registration) but the demo site does not seem to have this as an option and so I have opted for admission. For initial registration which encounter type is correct?
In both situations though I am only able to add information to an existing patient and not create a new patient…do I need to replace the default registration app/form for this to be possible?
