Hi Tim

In 2.25 and later this whole component have been thrown out, so I'm not
sure how much time we should use maintain it, please also note that even
if you select "export with deps" it can still miss some objects (and
most likely always include too much)

>From 2.23 we have included a new component for doing complete data set /
program exports, which is probably much closer to what you are looking
for, we are hoping to extend this functionality to include more objects
in the future (like validation groups, indicators etc), the use-case for
this is when you are moving something like a data set from server A to
server B.

In 2.23 this functionality can only be accessed through the web-api:
/api/dataSets/ID/metadata (.json / .xml)
/api/programs/ID/metadata (.json / .xml)

For 2.24 and later we have included a simple UI for doing this.

Title:
  Dataset Import/Export does not affect custom entry form

Status in DHIS:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  A few things going on here:

  TL:DR
  1. Dataset export does not contain the <dataEntryForms> tag as a child <metaData>.
  2. Dataset uploads with <dataEntryForm> as a child of <dataSet> has no effect on the custom form
  3. Dataset uploads with <dataEntryForms> as a child of <metaData> with matching entry under <dataSet> still has no effect on custom form

  Long Form:
  1. I'm not sure where the intended location of the dataEntryForm custom HTML. If it is supposed to live as a child of <dataSet>, then all is fine. If it is supposed to live in <dataEntryForms> with a link to it in <dataSet> as I suspect, then exporting the dataSet should probably come with the <dataEntryForms> even if "Export With Dependencies" is _not_ checked. It is also strange to see the custom HTML twice when you do export with Dependencies. Which one is correct? It can also constrain a questionable connection if the custom form is very large, as the xml file is now doubled in size.

  2. If I alter an exiting custom form in the <dataSet> section and try
  to upload the xml for it, it will not have any affect. See the video
  of this in action and the link to the xml file I'm using to do this on
  the play demo site. This behavior is the exact same for 2.23, where I
  first encountered it.

  3. As above, if I alter an exiting custom form in the <dataEntryForms>
  section of the xml file, and try to upload the xml for it, it will not
  have any affect. See the video of this in action and the link to the
  xml file I'm using to do this on the play demo site. This behavior is
  the exact same for 2.23, where I first encountered it.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Log in as superuser
  2. Download the following xml files, alter the name,shortname,code,uid and upload to playdemo
  3. Make a an additional change to the custom form and upload to play demo, notice nothing actually changes.
