Hi Abyot,

It seems there is still a problem with longText/textarea in custom forms. I
actually thought it was a problem with my instance until I tested it on the
dhis2 demo site.

When you add a data element of type longText to a custom form, everything
beyond that data element is not displayed in data entry in Tracker capture.
When you remove the longText data element from the form, everything
displays correctly.

Here are some snapshots:

Thanks,
Ese
