After doing some looking it looks like the problem is when the prescription is being created that it using the currently logged in user for the provider rather than what is selected in the provider drop down menu

After doing some additional testing, the bug was introduced in commit fdb4b5d0395399e8e61cfd837939996f249bfa0a

Here is an example using commit fdb4b5d0395399e8e61cfd837939996f249bfa0a
where the provider shows up after creation as administrator administrator rather than doctor one.

From what I have been able to test the issue should be in one of the following files:
controllers/C_Prescription.class.php

library/globals.inc.php

src/Common/Forms/FormActionBarSettings.php

templates/prescription/general_edit.html.twig

templates/prescription/general_list.html.twig

Thank you for the detailed investigation. I’ll see if I can reproduce this. I looked at the changes in general_edit.html.twig and the provider_id is still being populated correctly. I’m assuming the problem is likely in the C_Prescription.class.php. If I can reproduce it, I’ll open an issue on our development branch and we’ll get it fixed in time for the next release.
