Re: [EpiData-list] Regarding automatically filling of fields

Another thought on this. If you need to see both the generic name and the ATC code on the entry form, you could make them into one field, say ATCGen of the form

n02be01 acetaminophen

which you display on the form as below. In analysis or any other software, you can easily split this back into two separate variables.
