I think we currently use the value type to i) decide input field type in data entry, ii) validation of entered data in data entry and iii) restrictions for indicator formulas (can only contain int dataelements) iv) aggregation strategy in datamart. Variants for positive/negative numbers and discrete/decimal numbers will only affect ii). This means that if we are going to introduce new value types for all of these then when deciding data entry input field and aggregation strategy we must make code ala
if ( valuetype = int-positive || valuetype = int-negative || valuetype = double-positive || valuetype = double-negative ) which is not so good.. I suggest we add boolean properties allowDecimals and allowNegativeValues to DataElement. This means that datamart and most of the data entry code can remain untouched. Feel free to suggest better solutions..
