Add D.O.B., Gender, and Age to preset Event Registration options

I would like to propose the addition of D.O.B., Gender, and Age to the preset registrant details to add on event registrations.

Here is why:

  • When a new registrant fills it out, we will know this information in the recently created new constituent.

  • Address, email, and phone number can easily change for an individual. D.O.B, Gender, and Age are not easily changeable and therefore, this addition will eliminate the creation of duplicate constituents.

  • These are frequently created as an additional participant option. If they are not desired (like gender for a women's bible study registration) they can still be left out of the form.

  • The more basic and demographic information we have uploaded to the new constituent profile the better.


Thanks!

    THIS IS SO NEEDED! I currently have 127 duplicates to sift through and it's a nightmare! The majority are from event registrations. It's ridiculous! Having the "unchangeables" such as DOB and gender would be extremely helpful.

    I've also noticed something as simple as our database has correct capitalization of a name, and the person registering neglects to capitalize their name. It seems to create a duplicate for even this.
