Hi, I am pulling my hair out over Vitals. I am using the form VitalsM because it sees easier to modify - I wanted to remove some of the items there, like head circumference.
And then it suddenly disappeared - the whole form does not show up any more in Admin->Forms as unregistered.
Even restoring the original files does not bring the this form back, but
when I rename the folder in interface/forms to VitalsMM it shows as an available form again. That would be OK if not - after registering/database-creating/enabling - this form would show kg and cm as units instead of lb and inch.
Is there some settings I am missing, or what might I have done wrong.
I would be so greatfull for a hint after spending hours trying to figure this out with no results.
Thanks!

Hi,

Turn off:
Administration->Locale->Disable Old Metric Vitals Form

It was turned off several years ago in order to centralize vitals (note the main vitals supports both metric and US).

Thanks Brady!
that did work, but I understand now why it was disabled. I bit the bullet and decided to use the new vitals after I fond the other option to turn off the circumference options in vitals. I will just have to live with the temperature location. But at least I set it to default to Oral - that is all we need. Thanks again!
