A specific field for recording pronoun preferences

Whilst it is possible to record someone's gender as non binary, there is no where specifically for their pronoun preferences to be recorded ie them/they.

Please can this be created asap. Of course there are work arounds but they are not ideal.

    Agreed! I am not sure why this is still not an option yet.

    We have modified our Gender field to include all the options, He/Him, They/Them etc etc, but we can only change the label in Database View. Please turn on the ability to change the field label in Web View. And turn on the ability to deactivate Male and Female as menu options. I am constantly having to check for data entry errors in that field because those options can't be inactivated. Given we are a human rights organization, it's really not great that staff who are non-binary have to have that in their face every day, never mind the public using a form or portal.

    (edit of previous comment: I meant "donor portal" not "donor field")

    I agree with the need for this to be an enterprise level field. In addition, this would be a more valuable field to be visible and editable in the donor field instead of gender. (We actually haven't used the gender field in the past so I think it has been jarring for our test users to find it set as "Unknown" by default instead of "Not recorded"-- Almost all users have immediately updated that field after being invited).

    I say this as a cis woman with a masculine name--I always appreciate being able to set my pronouns (or title) in portals.

    Yep, needs to be an enterprise level field rather than a custom field so it is immediately visible from the header summary (just like Preferred Name) or Personal Info in the Constituent summary tile (like Gender or Age). Custom fields and Other name formats are way too buried and hard to find when you're on the phone live with a donor.

    I agree, this should be created asap! Having a prominent place to record preferred pronouns is critical and would make a huge difference for my organization.

    This is a MUST DO in this day in age. I must be a structured field with a table drop down. I needs to be readily visible in NXT web view and on BIO1 in DB view. The work around are not sustainable.

    It would be really useful at my organization to have this in the Bio 1 tab. This would be more useful than adding in addressee/salutations for us

    Pronouns are a universal piece of information and it would be really great to have this info included alongside gender in the Constituent Summary section as opposed to keeping it in a custom field or elsewhere.

    You can add this as an addressee/salutation or an attribute. maybe? This isn't a work around as much it is exactly the place to put information that isn't hard coded but is vital to your organization. You could have addressee/salutation type of pronouns and add the options as text choices to the addressee/salutation menu. Or standard table of pronouns for attribute. I'm generally not one to say, make it an attribute! But here it makes sense. I like addressees and salutations better though, you can use in mail merges if necessary.
