Hi there, thanks for the input. I don't think we will implement custom forms in section forms in the near future. When you have a form which is super-wide with mostly unused fields then that's usually a sign that the form itself should be re-designed.
I have been thinking of a function for using the section form HTML as basis for custom forms - ie. you could get the section form layout as a starting point and then go on to modify the parts you need. Neranga: If you need tabs also for custom forms we have jquery ui included in the page and its pretty simple to set up the "tabs" widget with a little bit of HTML/javascript, see docs here <http://api.jqueryui.com/tabs/>. best regards, Lars On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 7:02 AM, Neranga <neranga.liyanaarach...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I faced a similar issue when I was customizing DHIS2 tracked instance to > collect patient-based data for the cancer screening clinic in Sri Lanka. > (DHIS2.15) > In our case, client details are collected for registration and then for > the visit clinical history, examination, investigations and follow up > details are recorded.
