  • Warning - Editing�an option will change all historical use of that option.� E.g. Client A has the gender Female.� If Female is edited to Boy, then Client A's gender would change to Boy.� Therefore before using�Edit, stop and ask, will it completely change the meaning of any historical use.� If you wish historical use to remain the same,�Remove�the option instead and add a�New�option e.g. if Female is removed and Boy is added as a new option, then Client A will still have Female recorded as their Gender.� And Female will no longer appear on the dropdown list when adding gender to new clients.��
