Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't dig it up in searching the site and documentation.
Is there a system table or other area that will allow me to add options to the gender dropdown?
But doesn’t it also raise the question over why you would want to record gender at all, not to mention the inherent problems with guessing at gender?.. Other than a ‘nice to know’ for Development purposes, how would your marketing change? J
(this might make a good MKT discussion topic at the conference?)
Cheers,
Kathleen

Hey Beau,
The out-of-the-box gender options are still fixed as Male and Female. We don't use those and instead store gender in a custom attribute where we have more control over the options.

+1 on having this as a discussion topic at TLCC - in the Education world at First Stage we have long asked for a student's gender, and are now starting to receive forms with "N/A" or "?" marked instead. Diversity & Inclusion seems to be a big topic and something that definitely needs to be embraced in the world of data!

+1 from me too on expanding the gender dropdown for more inclusivity.
