What if that very first evaluation result in a trivial condition or
non-dx visit ?

Agree ! I believe this feature will save time. We will create a task
for upcoming 3.4 with this.

A have mixed feelings about this one :)

At one side, if the professional has been trained, she / he should not
missed it. Also, a visible extra field clutters a bit the form.

On the other side, missing it supposes creating a new condition that
will affect statistics .

Let me know your thoughts and thanks again !
