Re: Resource to obtain a dataset form template.

 

With the API it is possible to obtain all the information about a dataset
(section, dataelements, categories, etc), but I am looking for the dataset
form with a similar appearance as in the dataentry. I mean, a form with a
table with cells properly merged when two or more categories are present,
and with greyed cells when necessary.

But at the moment it is enough to know that there is not immediate plan of
removing it.

Thanks!
