What causes a child case to appear under the list of parent cases.

[Musa Samuel]

Using Commcare, I have two cases, one for main households and one for individuals as child cases which is obtained using a repeat group roaster. I created another follow up form that can allow me add to the number of individuals in the households, and as a result update the household cases to reflect the total household members disaggregated according to certain age ranges. The name question which is compulsory is assigned to a unique calculation question that adds a number in front of the household unique ID and increases count as you add individuals. Now I began to see the individual unique ID listed under the main household cases, and all fields are just dashes ("-------"). This is not supposed to happen and I can't figure out how to resolve.

Note: The follow up forms was not meant to update the child cases, it was designed to add child cases in the form of household members which were not part of the registration earlier; however, updating this means the total number of individuals in the house will change and hence, the follow up form was designed to update the values for the total number of household members based on the number of individuals added in the follow up form's repeat group. All individuals added in the follow up form are new child cases.

Hi @Musa Samuel 

Welcome to the community.

I think you are on the wrong Forum.

This forum is related to Atlassian products, not Commcare.

Or are you correct, then show more context in the form of screenshots for example.
