Can't set DOB or gender

[Ben Wagner]

Hi XNAT gurus,

  Any idea as to why I can't set DOB or gender through web UI?  I'm getting the following in the turbine log:

org.nrg.xft.exception.FieldNotFoundException: Field not found: 'xnat:subjectdata/demographics[@xsi:type=xnat:demographicdata]/dob'

org.nrg.xft.exception.FieldNotFoundException: Field not found: 'xnat:subjectdata/demographics[@xsi:type=xnat:demographicdata]/gender'

I'm not seeing anything else in other logs.  Calls from PyXNAT to attempt setting the same fields are also not producing expected results (and not errors).

version 1.8.3, build: 5

I have no issue setting those fields or any other fields in xnat:demographicsData from the UI or from pyxnat. I’d guess there’s an issue with another data type in one of your plugins that’s disrupting XNAT’s parsing of the data types on start-up and causing it to fail to load xnat:demographicsData properly. Try creating a dev instance of XNAT with 1.8.3 and your plugins and see if anything suspicious appears in the logs on start-up. Then try creating a project and subject and setting a demographics attribute value:

Hi Rick,

  Plugins have been stable.  Guess I should have given more detail.  I was working on a pyxnat script to upload some variables and what was work stopped.  So I tried setting manually through the UI.  To add another wrinkle, I can set gender/DOB in another project on the same instance.  A bit more testing is if I create the subject in the UI in the problem project, life is good.  It's the subjects created with pyxnat.  I'm suspecting as I didn't do a subject.create() on them something internally didn't get created right.

Alright, just confirmed it was user error.  I did a subject.attrs.mset which created the subject, but something in the call must have either been incorrect or a subject.create was required beforehand.  Either way, quickest solution is just to do the subject.create().
