## Critical Fields Added to Forms
### AppointmentBookingForm (appointments/forms.py)
```python
# Added to Meta.fields:
'finance_cleared', # BooleanField - visible checkbox
'consent_verified', # BooleanField - visible checkbox
# Added to Meta.widgets:
'finance_cleared': forms.CheckboxInput(attrs={'class': 'form-check-input'}),
'consent_verified': forms.CheckboxInput(attrs={'class': 'form-check-input'}),
```
### InvoiceForm (finance/forms.py)
```python
# Added to Meta.fields:
'invoice_type', # CharField with choices - ZATCA requirement
'discount', # DecimalField - financial calculation
'tax', # DecimalField - VAT calculation
'status', # CharField with choices - workflow tracking
# Added to Meta.widgets:
'invoice_type': forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'form-select'}),
'discount': forms.NumberInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control', 'step': '0.01', 'min': '0'}),
'tax': forms.NumberInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control', 'step': '0.01', 'min': '0'}),
'status': forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'form-select'}),
```
### PaymentForm (finance/forms.py)
```python
# Fixed field type:
'payment_date': forms.DateTimeInput(attrs={'type': 'datetime-local', 'class': 'form-control'}),
# Changed from DateInput to DateTimeInput to match model's DateTimeField
```
---
## Select2 Pattern Applied
### Standard Widget Configuration
```python
# For all patient fields:
'patient': forms.Select(attrs={
'class': 'form-select select2',
'data-placeholder': 'Select patient'
})
# For all provider fields:
'provider': forms.Select(attrs={
'class': 'form-select select2',
'data-placeholder': 'Select provider'
})
# For all clinic fields:
'clinic': forms.Select(attrs={
'class': 'form-select select2',
'data-placeholder': 'Select clinic'
})
# For other FK fields:
'field_name': forms.Select(attrs={
'class': 'form-select select2',
'data-placeholder': 'Select [field_name]'
})
```

## Views Verification
All views properly use `form_class` attribute pointing to updated forms:
### Appointments
- `AppointmentCreateView` → `AppointmentForm` ✅
- `AppointmentUpdateView` → `AppointmentForm` ✅
- `AppointmentRescheduleView` → `RescheduleForm` ✅
### Finance
- `InvoiceCreateView` → `InvoiceForm` ✅
- `InvoiceUpdateView` → `InvoiceForm` ✅
- `PaymentCreateView` → `PaymentForm` ✅
- `PackageCreateView` → `PackageForm` ✅
- `PackageUpdateView` → `PackageForm` ✅
### Other Apps
All other apps follow the same pattern with proper `form_class` usage.
---
## Template Compatibility
### Templates Verified:
- ✅ appointments/appointment_form.html - Has own Select2 init, compatible
- ✅ finance/invoice_form.html - Has own Select2 init, compatible
- ✅ ot/consult_form.html - Has own Select2 init, compatible
### Template Patterns:
1. **Manual field rendering**: Templates manually render `{{ form.field }}` - Select2 class will be applied ✅
2. **Crispy forms**: Templates use `{% crispy form %}` - Select2 class will be applied ✅
3. **Custom Select2 init**: Some templates have their own initialization - Will work alongside global init ✅
---
## JavaScript Initialization
### Global Initialization (static/js/select2-init.js)
```javascript
function initSelect2(scope) {
const $scope = scope ? $(scope) : $(document);
$scope.find('.select2').each(function() {
if (!$(this).hasClass('select2-hidden-accessible')) {
const dir = document.documentElement.getAttribute('dir') === 'rtl' ? 'rtl' : 'ltr';
$(this).select2({
width: '100%',
dir: dir,
allowClear: true,
placeholder: $(this).data('placeholder') || '',
language: dir === 'rtl' ? 'ar' : 'en'
});
}
});
}
```
### Event Listeners:
- `DOMContentLoaded` - Initial page load
- `htmx:afterSwap` - After HTMX content swap
- `htmx:afterSettle` - After HTMX settles
- `htmx:beforeSwap` - Cleanup before swap
---
## Benefits Delivered

2. **RTL Support**: Proper Arabic interface rendering
3. **HTMX Compatible**: Dynamic content fully supported
4. **Consistent UI**: Uniform behavior across all forms
5. **Better Accessibility**: Keyboard navigation and screen readers

- [ ] Verify placeholder text displays correctly
### RTL Testing:
- [ ] Switch to Arabic language
- [ ] Verify dropdowns open in correct direction
- [ ] Test search input alignment
- [ ] Verify selected items display correctly
### HTMX Testing:
- [ ] Test dynamic form loading
- [ ] Verify Select2 re-initializes after HTMX swaps
- [ ] Test inline form additions (invoice line items)
- [ ] Verify no memory leaks from repeated init/destroy
### Browser Testing:
- [ ] Chrome/Edge (latest)
- [ ] Firefox (latest)
- [ ] Safari (latest)
- [ ] Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile)

## Maintenance Notes
### Adding New Forms:
When creating new forms with FK/M2M fields, follow this pattern:
```python
class NewForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = YourModel
fields = ['patient', 'provider', ...]
widgets = {
'patient': forms.Select(attrs={
'class': 'form-select select2',
'data-placeholder': 'Select patient'
}),
'provider': forms.Select(attrs={
'class': 'form-select select2',
'data-placeholder': 'Select provider'
}),
}
```
### Updating Select2:
To update Select2 version, change CDN links in `templates/base.html`:
```html
```
### Troubleshooting:
- If Select2 doesn't initialize: Check browser console for errors
- If RTL doesn't work: Verify `dir` attribute on `` tag
- If HTMX breaks Select2: Check event listeners in select2-init.js
- If double-initialization occurs: Check for duplicate Select2 calls in templates
