In each data element configuration screen you have a field called “form name” which is the name displayed in the forms. If left blank, DHIS2 will display the data element name by default.
The solution to your problem is to copy/paste the ‘short name’ field into the ‘form name’ field.

Dear all,
Is there a way of displaying “short name” of the org unit, rather than “name” in the data entry and event capture Apps?
