Enhanced Country/Region-Specific Legal Gender Configuration
General Availability Recommended Customer Configured Impact: Medium AI Enriched
Description

Previously for users from different countries or regions, the system only supported 2 configuration options for genders: binary values (Male or Female), and quinary values (Male, Female, Unknown, Undeclared, or Other). There were only few countries/regions that applied the localized legal gender configuration. Now we've provided specific legal gender values for countries/regions. The support scope of localized legal gender configuration is extended to all countries/regions.See More
