Templates and ScreenMan (and I guess Listmananger) handle this nicely, as long as the field isn't required. I am experimenting with removing requirement in the patient file. So far - so good. It looks as though the system allow some pretty sparse fields and still save that data. FileMan will surly tell you if it expects a field to contain data.
