Summary
Add IndicatorType as a mappable metadata type in Global Settings, alongside the mapping options that already exist there (e.g. category combos, option sets).
Background
Identified in the 2024 CHAI + UiO "Improvements to DHIS2 core" estimate as a gap: users syncing indicators between instances currently have no way to remap indicator types when the source and target instances define them differently (different IDs, or types that don't exist 1:1 across instances).
Scope
- Add IndicatorType to the list of metadata types available for global mapping in GlobalSettings, following the same UI/data pattern as existing mapping types.
Origin / estimate
CHAI + UiO Improvements to DHIS2 core, July 2024. Estimated 3–5h at the time (rate and scope not re-verified since). Not built as of July 2026.
