Dear Lise,
thanks for the feedback :)

I think we might get this to work the way you want by an update of the rules. All the rules are executed on every stage. However, when the rules are using program rule variables that has source type "Data element in current event", then these variables will look different based on which event you have currently selected. I suspect this is the key to achieving the behavior you want here. If you make sure that the rule for hiding/unhiding the program stage is based on variables that uses source type "Data element in the newest event in program", it might behave the way you want. This makes the rule behave the same way across all the program stages.

Are you on 2.27, you have full access to view and change the program rule variables in the maintenance app. In 2.26 and earlier you can unfortunately not see and change this in the UI. You can either make a new source field, or change the existing ones in the database or through the API. Let me know if I can assist you further in this.

Would it be difficult to allow for adding stage 3 and stage 4 from whichever stage as soon as the program rule in stage 1 is verified?
