Thanks so much for keeping up this blog, it helps me!! Love how you included a loom video / demo 🤩 Can’t wait to try this out on dev3. Please let me know when it’s ready to try out 🙂 I would especially love @veronica and @wamz 's expert review as they have built mannny forms for OpenMRS over the years and will have great insight. Whenever you’re ready @senthilathiban let us know so we can try it out ourselves and share feedback 🙂 ---
