Dear colleagues

We have noticed that when a program indicator is marked to “display in form”, what is displayed is the description rather than the short name (which is what I would expect to see). This is true in the current stable demo (e.g. BMI in inpatient mortality program). Is this intentional?

Also, if a number of indicators in a program are all marked to display in form, the order they show in appears to be random – it does not match the alphabetical order of the name, or seem to follow the order of the section it is linked to (if each is linked to a different section). Is there a way to enforce an order that I am missing?

Thank you

Jane

Dear colleagues on the CoP,

I’m building upon this topic because I am having the same issue on my end (Capture App - DHIS2 web version).  
A picture is attached below for more details:

If anyone has a workaround or solution for this, it will be helpful and appreciated. I’m using **DHIS2 2.35.4**

Unlike in the android version ( **2.5** ), the ascending order of the program indicators (PI) is followed.

Best,  
Josue
