The only transaction with an internal/external variable is the referral.
As far as the other transaction types, the only option is text input. Also looks like the referral/counter referral is the only transaction that can be printed by itself. All other transactions must be printed via the patient report module, where all entries are printed on the same page. This is what makes the non-referral transactions and notes redundant, in my opinion. I understand they may differ conceptually, but functionally, they are the same.
For what you’re trying to do, Pieter, I would suggest trying to add two new transaction types based on the current referral form (i.e. copy and paste) and customize as needed.
You’re also spot on about the “Refer To” defaulting to facility name. This is a huge issue if you refer to multiple providers at the same facility. We’ve had to go through and edit our address book to remove facility name to circumvent this.
Another bug I noticed while we’re on the topic is that you cannot edit the Refer To field after the referral is initially saved. The Refer To field will only show local physicians at that point as opposed to all contacts listed in the address book. I’ll submit a bug report on these later today.
