Top Topics from September 2025
It is always an honor to see an announcement in the Marketplace because we are sure that someone from the DHIS2 community will not only be qualified but will also be up to the challenge with the community spirit and willingness to contribute!
– Today’s the deadline for this position, but do let us know if you get it: ICRC is looking for a DHIS2 expert to be contracted via a commercial entity for a 6 weeks mission
Other two top topics have been contributions from the community:
- In the ‘Period Selector UI improvement’ topic, @yusuphk IT team did a hackathon to fix an issue they were facing in DHIS2 and the PR has been merged.
- A nice way to get the AI conversation and development on-going, @Dradebo shares a repository with ideas for over a 100+ AI tools.
Finally, there were a number of top topics from September that are support requests and they give us a chance to highlight some aspects:

- Patience, patience, and a lot of debugging: DHIS2 organization units not loading
- It’s always great to share the specific use-case even if you are just starting so that others can contribute and share their expertise: Implementing a delivery record and integrating the partograph in DHIS2
- Sharing an issue that you are facing leads to either a bug being fixed or peace of mind (hopefully): Program Rules not triggered when using Yes/No fields
- And it could lead to an update with a feature release: Using Growth Chart in Multiple Tracker Programs
