Hello Makhate,

Couple things!

So first of all, *if* the CSS is for the custom form and the custom form
only, putting them in the source tab like you described *should* work, but
it can be finicky, as DHIS 2 does alter the HTML as it is being displayed.
Best figure out what works in the chrome console and put that in your
custom form.

<style>
  /*
     CSS code here
  */
</style>

Second, if you want css to work on all pages,
https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_ui_customization.html
*isn't
the safest place* to keep custom css and js as you have found it does not
work on all pages. There is no way besides forking core to put your own
custom CSS on the react apps unfortunately:
