Is there a way to add more states to a delivered field from a business class?
For example,
The gender field has these values already, but my organization wants to include more.
Only other way I can think of is to create a custom field.
There is not a way to extend state options on an Infor-delivered state field. For this field in particular, Infor has built functionality like governmental reporting that is dependent on these values being what they are.
If you intend to extend what options there are, you should take a look at the Employee.GenderIdentity field. This field has a GenderIdentity business class behind it that allows you to extend the options available to your employees. If you're implementing this, then you may want to take a look at implementing the GenderPronouns business class too.
Thank you!
