Can app forms access sibling data?

Development

Hey there folks.

In my hierarchy I have a household with parent_a and parent_b and 2 children, I have an app form that can be accessed on a contact’s profile to make that contact (parent_a) the caregiver to the children of that household.

There is an ask whether we can have two caregivers in the same household. Have an app form accessed on a contact’s profile that the CHP can fill out and select child_a caregiver is parent_a. This would require the app form to be able to see the children of that household and select them. Is that possible ?

From my review of the docs, app forms cannot see sibling data by which I mean a form for parent_a cannot know and select child_a of the same household since they are in the same level within the hierarchy.

@binod pointed me to this Loading descendants of the current contact I will explore it to see if it solves the challenge and how the design of the workflow might be.

@Ben_Kiarie and @binod In that document, we don’t have the case where we have the list of other household members if the form is opened for one member. In our case, the current contact is at the same level as the household members. I.e. they are siblings and not parents and children.
