    I hope this is something can be down. I want to change the predefined field gender from a radio to drop down select. I was hopping not to have 2 metakeys with the same purpose. Also, I’m needing to add another option “prefer not to say” to it and it would look better to me as a select box then a radio.

    I used to change the default type setting. Please let me know if I should not do this and why.

    add_filter( 'um_predefined_fields_hook', 'my_predefined_fields', 10, 1 );
function my_predefined_fields( $predefined_fields ) {
    if (is_array($predefined_fields['gender'])){
        $predefined_fields['gender']['type'] = 'select';
    }
    return $predefined_fields;
}

    Hi @nathaniel45,

    It’s not possible to change default predefined field type, different field types saves data in different format. You can create a custom dropdown field for gender field if you want to use the dropdown instead. That will work exactly like the predefined gender field and you will be able to use that custom field in member directory filter too.

    Thanks.

    The code I posted did change the field but what would break? What do you use the gender for in the UM code? I looked and I can’t find it anywhere but the predefined fields that are set in the class-builtin.php file.

    Hello @nathaniel45

    This is fine. You can use it this way. You can also add a placeholder since select fields have a placeholder by default.

    add_filter( 'um_predefined_fields_hook', 'my_predefined_fields', 10, 1 );
function my_predefined_fields( $predefined_fields ) {
    if (is_array($predefined_fields['gender'])){
        $predefined_fields['gender']['type'] = 'select';
        $predefined_fields['gender']['placeholder'] = 'Choose Gender';
        $predefined_fields['gender']['options'] = array( __('Male','ultimate-member'), __('Female','ultimate-member'),__('Prefer not to say','ultimate-member') );
    }
    return $predefined_fields;
}
