Hi Natalie, This is currently not supported, but sounds like an excellent feature. It would be useful if you could file an issue on the issue tracking system ( jira.dhis2.org) and describe the use case in more detail.
Since DHIS2 now requires the use of PostGIS, I think there could be a couple of work arounds. 1) You might consider to develop a custom JavaScript widget which would perform this check for you. (https://github.com/d3/d3-geo#geoContains) on the client. 2) A server side script could probably also check for this quite easily, to at least identify if any points do not fall inside a given polygon using the st_contains function of PostGIS. ( https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/222465/how-to-check-a-set-of-points-are-inside-a-polygon-or-not-in-postgis ) Regards, Jason On Mon, Jun 25, 2018 at 10:43 AM Natalie Tibbels <ntibb...@jhu.edu> wrote: > Hi all, > > Is there a way (in 2.28 or 2.29) to set up validation rules (or another > approach) to ensure that when coordinates are captured or entered for an > event, they are within the correct country boundaries?
