Dear Morina,

Can you share your code?
One thing I know when you are applying JQuery to a given field/input in
DHIS2, you may need to do something like this:
$(.entryfield).closest(blah blah)     ---- This will apply the rule to all
inputs

or
$(#qTuxHtIBhkU-mt3cAOIDf32-val).closest(blah blah)    ---- This will apply
the rule to specific input

For attributes in programs
You need $(#attr2056)     where the number refers to the ID of the attribute

Look at this to give you more light (This is an extract fron DHIS2 V 2.13),
you can inspect elements on your version to see how they are named:

<input name="entryfield" class="entryfield" id="qTuxHtIBhkU-mt3cAOIDf32-val"
type="text" tabindex="1" style="border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170);
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

Good luck.
