I have created a new patient identifier type using our desired structure and successfully populated an initial identifier pool.
However, when I come to register a test patient with the xform the patient identifier field is not auto populated but requires mandatory keyboard entry. However, the validation rules follow those expected.
Further when a valid id is typed and the form submitted an error message “Patient is missing the following required identifier(s): OpenMRS ID” is given.
To have your auto generated identifier display on the form, ensure that the identifier type id that you specified in the setting named “xforms.new_patient_identifier_type_id” is properly configured for auto generation on the screen that looks like this: http://int02.openmrs.org/openmrs/module/idgen/manageAutoGenerationOptions.list
I had not not made the auto generate settings as you suggested, but having done that nothing has really changed. This gif shows you what is currently happening.
I have done this (it will of course change the ref app site for anyone using it for other purposes) andi the process I noticed the global variable xforms.new_patient_identifier_type_id is initially numeric (1). On my test system I had created my new type with a name which I used at this place rather than some sort of numeric index. I now note that when I examine the type the url contains id=4 and so have changed the xforms.new_patient_identifier_type_id to 4. This now causes an ID to be auto generated (great).
However when I submit I am told “Patient is missing the following required identifier(s): OpenMRS ID”
On the demo site I get a similar message but referring to my new id type, also on the demo site the new id type does not show in the pull down of id types in the patient registration form.
