Description Nicole C. Engard 2012-04-20 12:26:35 UTC
On the authorized values admin page it says:

"NOTE: If you change an authorized value, existing records using it won't be updated."

This is confusing because some people are thinking that this means if you edit the description it won't update the records.  When in reality it means if you change the VALUE it won't update things.

Maybe this could be made clearer by saying:

"NOTE: If you change an authorized value, existing records using it won't be updated. Changes to value descriptions will show immediately"

I'm not sure that's clear either, but I can't come up with another way to make this not confuse people so I'm open to ideas.
Comment 1 Nicole C. Engard 2012-04-20 12:27:51 UTC
How about:

"NOTE: If you change an authorized value code, existing records using it won't be updated. Changes to value descriptions will show immediately."

[Passed QA] Bug 7988: Make note on authorized values page less confusing

Nicole suggested a change of the note, that this patch is implementing:

NOTE: If you change an authorized value code, existing records
using it won't be updated. Changes to value descriptions will show
immediately.

To test:
- Go to administration > authorised values
- Check the note showing on the page
- Select a category from the pull down and edit an existing entry
- Check the note on this page is also correct

Patch behaves as expected.
