Hi,

 

I have a little problem with linking FATESTCD and FATEST in define.xml as VLM. The problem is that FATESTCD and FATEST are not a unique pair (sponsor accepted as it is...). So I have one value for FATESTCD and 5 values for FATEST. I created 5 rows for FATESTCD, but cannot assign the correct labels according to FATEST.

An example program is below (with only two rows instead of 5)

<def:ValueListDef OID="ValueList.fa.FATESTCD">
<ItemRef ItemOID="fa.FATESTCD.EXLOCTOL" OrderNumber="1" Mandatory="No"/>
<ItemRef ItemOID="fa.FATESTCD.EXLOCTOL" OrderNumber="2" Mandatory="No"/>
</def:ValueListDef>

 

<ItemDef OID="fa.FATESTCD.EXLOCTOL"
Name="EXLOCTOL"
DataType="text"
Length="8"
Origin="CRF"
Comment=" "
def:Label="Assessment">
</ItemDef>

<ItemDef OID="fa.FATESTCD.EXLOCTOL"
Name="EXLOCTOL"
DataType="text"
Length="8"
Origin="CRF"
Comment=" "
def:Label="Severity">
</ItemDef>

in the end I get two rows of FATESTCD with both having "Assessment" as the label.

 

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks in advance

By having a value list with duplicate ItemRef entries (as far as ItemRef/@ItemOID) you are violating the rules for value lists. You also have multiple ItemDefs with the same OID, which is not correct either.

For every FATEST, you should create a unique FATESTCD.

Hi!

Yes, they should be unique, you are right. But unfortunately, they are not:( And the study is closed...So no clue how to list this.

But thanks anyway for your answer!

I believe your problem is not how to list this define.xml, but how to fix a broken define.xml (i.e. broken metadata), and making sure that you do not run into trouble with submitting this and having to explain errors you will get in your validation reports.

Hi !

 

Yes. The only solution I have to this is to link them to the "normal" codelist and to the VLM. Will see what the validation report will tell me;-).

 

 

Want a demo?
