Use of patient custom fields

Implementation discussion

I'm having trouble trying to implement a number of custom fields. Should it be possible to have multiple custom fields within the one custom field archetype? When I do it and create a new patient it fails to save and I get an error that it fails to save a collection of objects.

This is my custom field archetype:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<archetypes>
    <archetype latest="true" primary="true"
        name="entity.customPatientArrivedinCare.1.0"
        displayName="Arrived into care" type="org.openvpms.component.business.domain.im.common.Entity">
        <node name="id" displayName="Id" type="java.lang.Long"
            path="/id" parentChild="false" minLength="0" maxLength="255"
            minCardinality="0" maxCardinality="1" readOnly="true"
            hidden="true" derived="false"/>
        <node name="description" displayName="Description"
            type="java.lang.String" path="/description"
            parentChild="false" minLength="0" maxLength="255"
            minCardinality="0" maxCardinality="1" readOnly="false"
            hidden="true" derived="false"/>
        <node name="name" displayName="Name" type="java.lang.String"
            path="/name" parentChild="false" minLength="0"
            maxLength="255" minCardinality="0" maxCardinality="1"
            readOnly="false" hidden="true" derived="false"/>
        <node name="ArrivedInCare"
            displayName="Arrived in Care Date" type="java.util.Date"
            path="/details/ArrivedInCareDate" parentChild="false"
            minLength="0" maxLength="255" minCardinality="0"
            maxCardinality="1" readOnly="false" hidden="false" derived="false"/>
         <node name="origin"
            displayName="Origin" type="java.lang.String"
            path="/details/Origin" parentChild="false"
            minLength="0" maxLength="255" minCardinality="0"
            maxCardinality="1" readOnly="false" hidden="false" derived="false"/>
    </archetype>
</archetypes>

Matt - I think (if you are editing the archetype in the system) then this is a known problem [not sure of JIRA]. I always edit the adl and then use Import. I imported yours into the system and then enabled it for species Dog and got:

for the initial edit:

and then for the view:

Given the above display mode, I edited the adl file to change the 'Arrived in Care Date' display name and for a laugh added another field, then imported the adl, and got:

What happens if you create a new patient now Tim? That is where I'm running into trouble.

I can edit an existing patient OK but if I add a patient it throws an error.

Actually I'm not sure if I've tried adding a new patient to an existing client but it happens if I add a new patient while adding a new client.

i did find a JIRA for a similar issue but it was marked as resolved quite a while ago.

You are correct Matt - there is a failure when you try to add a new patient to a customer or create a new patient.

However, it is not your 'arrived in care' problem - the problem also occurs with the standard entity.customPatientExample.

In fact there appears a second problem - at one stage I had both entity.customPatientExample and entity.customPatientArrivedinCare in the system with species Cat set to use the first and Dog to use the second. When I tried to create a new cat, the tab name was correct but the fields were those from the customPatientArrivedinCare entity. ie the system has problems if there are two different customPatient archetypes defined.

I am running 1.9 - I don't have a 1.8 system to hand, but I would not be surprised if these custom fields problems were in 1.8

The full log shows (in part):

Your changes have been reverted.

Note that at the time the above log was generated there was only the standard entity.customPatientExample archetype in the system and I had restarted Tomcat.
