Hi,

I faced a similar issue when I was customizing DHIS2 tracked instance to
collect patient-based data for the cancer screening clinic in Sri Lanka.
(DHIS2.15)
In our case, client details are collected for registration and then for the
visit clinical history, examination, investigations and follow up details
are recorded. As you understand there are elements which are very specific
to females and males, however it was difficult to implement the "hiding
fields" according to the value given to the sex attribute. I couldn't find
a way to implement that logic. Instead we designed 2 separate programs for
males and females, and it was not too bad to do so.
On the other hand I also found the "sections" in the program stages quite
useful too. But I had to give up the custom designed forms and go ahead
with the auto generated forms, because when I designed the form, the
section tab was no longer available.
I think these experiences will help developers to make future changes.
Thanks.
