Rich form field configuration – PII, analytics, identifiers...

[rikukissa]

Make it possible for the backend to connect an input datapoint with its original field definition. This enables counties to configure fields

{
  fieldId: 'child.nationalId',
  deduplication: {
    unique: true
  },
  allowCorrection: false,
  pii: true,
  identifier: true,
  identifierType: 'NID'
},
{
  fieldId: 'mother.educationLevel',
  allowCorrection: true,
  pii: false,
  statistic: true
}

Why this is important

Overall, this will reduce core's reliance on forms fields and allows more dynamic form creation and different type of forms without a Medium+ development project.

In the long term, this will enable countries for example to

• Allow selecting which fields can be corrected
• Mark form fields are PII. This will also enable us to build integrations where PII is removed before data gets sent.
• Define which fields to use as identifiers (passport, NID). This would enable countries to add more ID types without core changes.
• Specify fields that are stored for statistics purposes. These could be made different per country.
• Define how custom fields should be converted to FHIR
