KISS. Don't use categories as the model does not fit the use case. Three plain old data elements will work.
Just a thought.

So they need an extra code Male, Female and Unknown. Now the Zanzibar database has a Sex category with Male and Female defined. But *adding* a new categoryoption seems difficult. After all there are many categorycombos using Sex as an axis. And catoptcombos would need to be regenerated etc. Is there any sensible way to do this? The alternative is to make a brand new category, say Gender, and fill this with the three options though that is far from ideal. For one thing we could not reuse the Male/Female codes so would have to use MALE/FEMALE or what have you. Any thoughts? Regards Bob
