Adds the missing 'required' label if to gender field when creating a new patron or editing an existing one. This also updates the section from using radio buttons to a more convenient dropdown menu. To test: 1. Apply this patch 2. Find the system setting 'BorrowerMandatoryField' and mark 'Gender (sex)' as required. 3. Edit an existing patron or create a new one. You should see the 'Required' label under the gender section. There should also be a dropdown menu to choose the gender with, instead of the old radio buttons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Radio buttons are generally preferred for small sets of mutually exclusive visible choices.

I agree with this. To me the radio buttons seem easier to use because I can see all the options and select one with one click. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42639 --- Comment #6 from Brendan Lawlor <blawlor@clamsnet.org> --- I also agree that for short sets of mutually exclusive options, radio buttons would be better for useability. As Owen mentioned you can easily see all options and to it's one click instead of two to set it. On the other hand, some people may prefer the arguably cleaner look of a dropdown, especially in the context of when a record already exists and it's just being edited. In this case the relevant info is the the currently selected value, and two clicks would make it less prone to accidentally changing than the radio buttons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42639 --- Comment #9 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- Salutation and relationship can contain many many values depending on the setup as both lists are configurable. So I don't think it radio boxes would work for those. A yes/no kinda question like "show barcode" could be changed - but this is a configured patron attribute with an authorised value as base and again, could contain many entries. If at all it could be a new option for how patron attributes can be displayed. I believe there is a "checkbox" enhancement request out there already maybe. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
