I have the need to create a yearly data entry form that for each data element (without disaggregation) also displays data from the two preceding years in a table, and ideally even allows for editing of those previous values (although there could also be a link to click on in case editing is needed).
I assume this can be achieved by creating a custom form and adding some jquery functionality exploiting the Web API, and that that would be a better option than creating a separate App for this?
Will give it a try, just wanted to see what people think would be the best approach.

Yes I think creating a custom form with javascript pulling out values from
the previous periods is a good solution.
In 2.14 we introduced a web api resource which makes it simpler to send
individual data values, documentation here:
