Using groups is a good idea, but still we cannot use it for searching
and accessing data elements in the maintenance app.

Seems like a good feature and I think it's planned. Maybe you can use
data element groups to accomplish the same purpose?

Hello everybody,
We have in our DHIS2 instance data elements belonging to different
programs/data sets, but also to different domains (packages) or diseases
we are dealing with. Also, some of them are common across different
diseases and domains.
So far, in order to easy the search for specific data elements in the
maintenance app, we were including additional codes (like tags) inside
the names of these data elements. The problem arose when we used
analytic apps and these long codified names started showing very ugly in
the charts and tables. We found a way to enforce using short names
instead of names, although there are some bugs preventing this in
event-based analytics apps and we reported it.
Anyhow, we feel that names of data elements should be something human
readable and without specific codifications and tags. Thus we first
planned to move these codified names to data element codes instead, but,
currently there is no possibility to search data elements by their code
in the maintenance app.
We've seen that in 2.27 the search of data elements improved and gives
more options, but not searching by code unfortunately.
We think that it could be very useful and user friendly if we are able
to search of data elements using specific tags (disease, package,
common...) codified inside the code attribute of data elements, so we
would like to raise the question of possibility of including such
functionality in DHIS2.
Thank you!
Best,
Petar
