When a pathway with a template is created, in order for the Rule to evaluate and activate deactivate template fields, an alert must be present in the pathway
However the template may not need to display an alert during the consultation. So in order to work around this a dummy alert can be created.
A dummy alert will never display during a consultation, however it will cause the template to work correctly as required
Example dummy alert
This alert will never display ( Patient Date of birth after today) but will activate the template correctly.
