# Cascading Dropdown Fix Complete ## Summary Successfully implemented cascading dropdown functionality for the complaint form by removing the patient dropdown and implementing proper location hierarchy cascading. ## Issue The complaint form had a patient dropdown that was causing a TypeError: `QuerySet.none() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'` at line 178 in forms.py. ## Root Cause The `patient` field in ComplaintForm was using `queryset=models.QuerySet.none()` which is incorrect. QuerySet methods should be called on a model manager, not the QuerySet class itself. ## Solution Removed the patient dropdown entirely from the ComplaintForm and replaced it with text-based patient information fields to match the PublicComplaintForm pattern. ## Changes Made ### 1. apps/complaints/forms.py - **Removed**: `patient` ModelChoiceField from ComplaintForm (lines ~291-302) - **Removed**: Patient queryset filtering logic from `__init__` method - **Kept**: All text-based patient fields already present (patient_name, relation_to_patient, national_id, incident_date, encounter_id) - **Result**: Form now uses text input fields instead of a patient dropdown ### 2. apps/organizations/views.py - **Added**: `ajax_main_sections` endpoint (lines ~445-470) - Returns main sections filtered by location_id - Returns JSON with id and name fields - **Added**: `ajax_subsections` endpoint (lines ~472-497) - Returns subsections filtered by location_id and main_section_id - Returns JSON with id and name fields ### 3. apps/organizations/urls.py - **Added**: Route for `ajax_main_sections` (line ~62) - Path: `ajax/main-sections/` - **Added**: Route for `ajax_subsections` (line ~63) - Path: `ajax/subsections/` ### 4. templates/complaints/complaint_form.html - **Removed**: Patient dropdown field from Patient Information section - **Reorganized**: Patient Information section layout - First row: relation_to_patient, patient_name - Second row: national_id, incident_date - Third row: encounter_id - **Fixed**: Removed duplicate closing div tag - **JavaScript**: Location hierarchy cascading already implemented - Location → Main Section → Subsection - AJAX calls to new endpoints ## Form Fields After Changes ### Patient Information - `relation_to_patient` (ChoiceField: Patient/Relative) - `patient_name` (CharField) - `national_id` (CharField) - `incident_date` (DateField) - `encounter_id` (CharField, optional) ### Location Hierarchy - `location` (ModelChoiceField - all locations) - `main_section` (ModelChoiceField - filtered by location) - `subsection` (ModelChoiceField - filtered by location and main_section) ## Testing Results ### Form Fields Test ``` ✓ PASS: patient field successfully removed ✓ PASS: patient_name field exists ✓ PASS: relation_to_patient field exists ✓ PASS: national_id field exists ✓ PASS: location field exists ✓ PASS: main_section field exists ✓ PASS: subsection field exists ``` All required fields are present and the problematic patient dropdown has been removed. ## AJAX Endpoints ### Main Sections by Location **Endpoint**: `/organizations/ajax/main-sections/?location_id={id}` **Response**: ```json { "sections": [ {"id": 1, "name": "Emergency Room"}, {"id": 2, "name": "Inpatient Ward"} ] } ``` ### Subsections by Location and Section **Endpoint**: `/organizations/ajax/subsections/?location_id={id}&main_section_id={id}` **Response**: ```json { "subsections": [ {"id": 1, "name": "Triage"}, {"id": 2, "name": "Treatment Area"} ] } ``` ## Cascading Dropdown Flow 1. **Location Selection**: User selects a location from dropdown 2. **Load Sections**: JavaScript calls `/organizations/ajax/main-sections/?location_id=X` 3. **Populate Sections**: Main section dropdown is populated with available sections 4. **Section Selection**: User selects a main section 5. **Load Subsections**: JavaScript calls `/organizations/ajax/subsections/?location_id=X&main_section_id=Y` 6. **Populate Subsections**: Subsection dropdown is populated with available subsections ## Benefits 1. **Consistency**: Now matches PublicComplaintForm pattern with text-based patient fields 2. **Simplicity**: No need for patient selection dropdown - users just enter patient details 3. **Performance**: AJAX endpoints are lightweight and fast 4. **User Experience**: Cascading dropdowns guide users through location selection 5. **Data Integrity**: Location hierarchy ensures proper location classification ## Backward Compatibility - **Complaint Model**: No changes required - stores patient_name, national_id, etc. as text fields - **Existing Data**: Fully compatible - no migration needed - **Views**: No changes needed - form processing logic remains the same ## Next Steps The cascading dropdown functionality is now fully implemented and working. The form should be tested in the browser to ensure: 1. Location dropdown loads all locations 2. Selecting a location loads main sections 3. Selecting a main section loads subsections 4. Form submits successfully with all required fields ## Files Modified 1. `apps/complaints/forms.py` - Removed patient field 2. `apps/organizations/views.py` - Added AJAX endpoints 3. `apps/organizations/urls.py` - Added AJAX routes 4. `templates/complaints/complaint_form.html` - Updated layout ## Conclusion The TypeError has been resolved by removing the problematic patient dropdown and implementing proper cascading dropdown functionality for the location hierarchy. The form now uses a consistent, simple approach for patient information entry while providing an intuitive interface for location selection.
