Thanks Lars,

Yes, this is in the Data Entry module (I'm putting the code into the custom
dataset feature).

Yup, the JSON works like a charm and I am glad I am using it correct. My
worry is that in version 2.15, or 2.16 and beyond, someone might change the
dhis2.de.currentOrganisationUnitId. This would break the script and prevent
any queries to JSON, as I wouldn't have access to the OrgID anymore.

The reason for all of this is to mimic the paper forms as close as
possible. It might be a bit overkill, but it is also teaching me a lot
about DHIS2 in the process. See the attached/inline image for a visual:

And the code sofar:

<script type="text/javascript">
onFormLoad( function() {
// Do your javascript stuff here
/*for(var b in window) {
if(window.hasOwnProperty(b)) console.log(b);
}*/
 //Found this looking through the Javascript, hopefully doesn't get
rewritten anytime soon
//couldn't find any other way to get the current org id from within the
dataset...
vuFacilityID = dhis2.de.currentOrganisationUnitId;
 //The other variables we are going to use, the Names being the most
important
vuFacilityName = "";
vuIslandID="";
vuIslandName="";
vuProvinceName="";
 //Using the Web API to pull all the information out for the current ORG ID
//Assumptions, we are currently in a health facility of some sort
//The parent of that facility will be the Island
//The parent of that island will be a province
//Assuming this, because this is how VU's DHIS2 has been set up
$.getJSON('../api/organisationUnits/'+vuFacilityID+'.json',
function(FacilityData) {
//console.log(FacilityData);
 if (!jQuery.isEmptyObject(FacilityData)) {
//We have data
vuFacilityName=FacilityData.name;
vuIslandID=FacilityData.parent.id;
vuIslandName=FacilityData.parent.name;
 $.getJSON('../api/organisationUnits/'+vuIslandID+'.json',
function(islandData) {
//console.log(islandData);
 if (!jQuery.isEmptyObject(islandData)) {
//We have followup data
vuProvinceName=islandData.parent.name;
 //Assign these values below to the dataset in the proper positions
$('#VUJS_facility').text(vuFacilityName);
$('#VUJS_island').text(vuIslandName);
$('#VUJS_province').text(vuProvinceName);
}
 });
}
});
} );
</script>
