Session outline
In this webinar, explore how the legacy custom forms plugin enables existing JavaScript-based custom forms to work within the new DHIS2 Data Entry app. The session explains how the plugin automatically detects and renders legacy forms while preserving their existing layouts, styling, tabs, accordions, and JavaScript-driven calculations. It also demonstrates how to update the Data Entry app, test existing custom forms, and manage potential differences in rendering. Finally, the webinar highlights new native Section form configuration options and future plans for enhanced plugin security and extensibility, while encouraging a gradual transition away from JavaScript-based custom forms toward more maintainable, cross-platform solutions.
