Biological Sex - Form Element

Last updated: July 8, 2026

Use this Form Element to capture information from a participant about their biological sex. Unlike other Form Elements, this one does not require you to define a Schema Field, as the platform has already done it for you, behind the scenes. Data captured from this Form Element type is mapped directly to the Participant Data Model.

The three pre-defined options for this drop down are Male, Female, Intersex.

Question	The primary text displayed for this element. Bold by default. Set to "Birth Date" by default.
Description	Secondary text for this element type. Displayed beneath the "Question" text. Not bold.
Required Field	Check this to require participant input. Enabling this option will forbid the user from advancing to the next section until a response is made in this Form Element.
