Data Entry app: Completed by … which user? storedBy or lastUpdatedBy?
 

Hi,

I am facing this issue: there is a dataset that was completed by an user (“seminiano”) and this is saved in the “storedBy” field of the completeDataSetRegistrations.

I have imported the “completeness” of that dataset to another server using the API (api/completeDataSetRegistrations).

The payload contains “seminiano” in the “storedBy” field). After the import my user (“imported”) is included in the “lastUpdatedBy” field.

The data entry app is showing the “lastUpdatedBy” username instead of the “storedBy” username. Is that the intended behaviour or is it a bug?

Just in case, in the documentation of api/completeDataSetRegistrations it is mentioned the “storedBy” username but not the “lastUpdatedBy” username.

To address similar issues efficiently and reduce potential for error, you might want to consider an automated data entry system. Such systems can help ensure that data integrity is maintained across different stages of data handling and updates, especially when transferring or importing datasets between servers. This can be crucial in environments where data accuracy and the traceability of data entry are paramount.
