Hello Bob, I hadn't tried that one before, thanks for the suggestion and how to!
So I made an xml file with the following: <dataElement xmlns="http://dhis2.org/schema/dxf/2.0"; zeroIsSignificant="false" /> and called it zerosig2.xml Then here is my curl command and the resulting output (gives an error) any ideas? dhis@tmctpsql:~$ curl -k -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -u admin:district -d @zerosig2.xml " https://192.168.0.110:8443/dhis/api/dataElements/H16LuF5EtZL"; org.hisp.dhis.filter.MetaDataFilter does not exist: dataElements If I navigate to that URL directly in a web browser it pulls the data element in question right up.
