The gender input field is a textfield. We can provide users with guidance to hone their input to existing categories in order to prevent as much as possible insignificant spelling variations of the same gender without restricting them to these categories, of course.

datalist is an HTML5 tag.

It will need polyfilling.

Version: » 7.x-1.x-dev
Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

I'm closing this issue because we're deprecating support for the 7.x-1.x branch of the module. The 8.x-1.x version of the module takes a similar but different approach to the field. When the 8.x-1.x version is completed, we will backport that work into 7.x-2.x.

I'll be reposting this on each issue I close for the sake of record keeping.
