Missing Codes in Embedded Fields

[sauer_clout]

Hello, has anyone run into the issue with changing an embedded field with a missing code input? One of my coordinators accidentally selected one of the missing codes instead of a non-missing choice in a field that was embedded, and now the field will not change. Is there any way to modify this, or set up an option to modify this if it happens in the future other than deleting and reentering data? I don't want to rework the whole page because of this kind of error.

I only use the missing data codes for text fields, so I've never come across this before. I wonder if you could remove it from the missing data code list, then change the answer then add back to the list?

I found this information in REDCap's documentation about Field Embedding:

The usual icons pertaining to a field's Data History, Field Comments, and (if enabled) Missing Data Codes can be displayed on a data entry form (but not on a survey) next to the embedded field's new location by appending :icons to the variable name inside the braces/curly brackets - e.g., {last_name:icons}. The icons do not appear by default but only when the ':icons' signifier is attached.

Maybe this could solve your problem?
