What if that very first evaluation result in a trivial condition or
non-dx visit ?

That's a valid scenario. But, in that case we don't need to relate to any condition. My point is, a patient comes and the doctor creates a Evaluation for a diagnosis like 'Cholera'. The doctor also decides and create a Condition for it. How can doctor relate both Evaluation and Condition as the Evaluation is not 'Follow Up'; it is the patient's first visit for this condition.

Agree ! I believe this feature will save time. We will create a task
for upcoming 3.4 with this.

A have mixed feelings about this one :)

At one side, if the professional has been trained, she / he should not
missed it. Also, a visible extra field clutters a bit the form.

On the other side, missing it supposes creating a new condition that
will affect statistics .

Let me know your thoughts and thanks again !

In a situation when a doctor has to treat around 50 patient in 8 hours, he/she has to primarily concentrate on physical interaction with patient. The doctors have very small time to think and enter data in system.
