Handling of Other sex option in exports

Development Beta Testing
1

Tested the import of a 5.5.1 Gedcom export with the sex set to the new Other category with Ancestry.com.

As expected the categorization is lost and the individual is listed with sex Unknown. It is reasonable to expect most other programs and sites will likely be similar.

Unsure of user expectations around this.

Probably need to update Gramps and GEDCOM - Gramps to add this.

I am wondering if it is set to Other if we should try to include this information in a custom attribute automatically added to the export in addition to using the SEX field, even though we don’t store it as an attribute internally in Gramps. Thoughts @Nick-Hall ?

There’s a long thread on this ’Additional Gender Options’, now near the top of the Topics—now that i no longer have limited replies i finally added another. There is no ’Other’ in most genealogical apps, i’ve only ever seen it awhile back in a Windows one: i have to give myself as ’Unknown’ as i’m an hermaphrodite. Hopefully ’Other’ will be included in v6.

Hope that this helps.

EDIT: i gave the wrong version number.

‘Other’ gender is in the 5.2 beta. The release date of a Final Candidate is dependent on what turns up in testing. (The beta test of the 1st automation to build the Windoze AIO installer passed an important milestone yesterday.)

Can‘t work out how to do a partial quote.

This is great! :slightly_smiling_face:

Highlight the partial & a popup menu (with ‘Quote’) appears.

Ta, tried that and nothing pops up—i’m using Brave Browser here, so i wonder whether that is the problem. Whenever i use the quote thingy i get this:
