SORMAS-Foundation
Sample can be collected years before symptoms or case reported
Bug Description
A sample can be collected in 2021 despite the case being from 2025 and the first symptom reported in 2025.
Reproduction Steps
- Login
- Click on case directory
- create new case of congenital rubella with case report date in 2025
- fill out symptoms, put first symptom in 2025
- create new sample of congenital rubella collection date in 2021
- SORMAS system allows this when it should not, or should at least give a warning that it seems wrong
Expected Behavior
If the first symptom is reported on a date (e.g. April 1, 2025), it should not be possible for a relevant sample to be collected before that (at least not in a different year)

@Christophe-SF is there a reason to have a sample from years before a case / symptoms appear for a disease?
Most of the time the answer is no. Now, history of the disease can relevant sometimes (being negative and becoming positive for a disease like HIV for instance). The difficulty will be to set the treshold.
The proposed solution here is to not completely block users from adding a sample that is before the case's report date, but it should result in a blue warning message so the user is aware that there may be a mistake.
