Description Helen Gornall 2024-03-18 08:48:04 UTC
To be able to add a free type box to appear alongside the 'prefer to self describe' so that patrons and/or staff can write in their preferred description.

Hi Helen, the gender field is currently a free text field - can you explain a bit more what the difference would be and how the new field would be used? Could a patron attribute do the trick?

The gender field on our user registration form for both staff input and self registration are buttons.

Currently, Female, Male, Prefer to Self Describe and Prefer not to say.

We would like to provide a box next to these buttons if a customer chooses to self describe and they wish to share how they want to be described

Hi Helen, that clears it up - I was thinking of the new pronouns field.
