I don't see why one would need to remember the vaccine name
beyond the single occasion of entering a vaccination ? In
which case one is well advised to be able to remember the name
of the vaccine just administered or else go see a mental health
co-worker :-)

I do sense some merit in that statement. I'd however like to
know the reason for exactly *why* we think we need it *where*.
That may help us root out some flaws in thinking (my brother
hates it when I do this *grin* - please don't get me wrong
Richard, I am not trying to downplay your specs or advice).

> Each schedule contains multiple vaccines.
No question about that. It does not, however, explain why we
would need to be able to input the target schedule when
entering a vaccination.

Ever thought about a patient moving from AU to DE
mid-schedule? What am I going to do with his recorded
schedule-bound vaccination data ? I'd rather prefer to have it
indication-bound ...  And apply *our* schedules upon display
to find out what *my* schedule thinks is missing (the whole
complexity isn't easily mappable anyways). I am trying to
separate fact from interpretation thereof. Or in other words,
store *data* and display *information*.

> I don't get any popup lists coming up - are they meant to?
I just now synced my tree (no relevant changes) and connected
to my public DB. On my machine the popup lists aren't just
meant to come up, they even do.

Now, *that* doesn't happen yet:

a) the vaccine popup list isn't constrained by the vaccination target
   (it can't, hehe, since currently we don't *have* a
    vaccination target selection field ... and as I tend
    to believe we don't need it)

b) our phrasewheel currently doesn't support immediate popup
   without any user input - however, one can type "*" to get a
   list of all currently available items (will implement the
   immediate popup if that's one more mode we need ... just tell
   me) - or type some part of the vaccine given

OK, done.

We try to go about finding out why by way of inspecting logs
and behaviour ... IOW debugging.

No, the problem is that I wouldn't be able to run it anyways
:-)   Other than that I'd certainly like to see it.
