Upon reading the topic "Free text for education level" posted by another member, especially the "battle of the grades" from different coutries, I believe the actual Genopro approach in trying to provide as many options as possible amongst the various ddm lists is not an ideal one as cannot be exhaustive. Let's have a look, for example, at an individual properties -> General Tab -> Title ddm: there are actually 12 options. Many are missing. What about: His/Her Majesty, Duke, Baron, Baroness, Count, Countessa, Viscount, Lord, ... (just only to deal with some royals). They should also be within the ddm as well as some other titles, of course.

I personnally think that the existing options should be streamlined, keeping only, for example: Dr, Mr, Mrs, Ms and perhaps Rev subject to adding up a "New ..." option (as provided on some other ddm) for users to enter the title of their choice. This remark is a typical one and should basically be implemented to every ddm provided.

All these additional users input info could, for example, be saved/stored into dic.xml or within a new separate .xml file. Thank you.

You can always type the text for the title if missing.

By the way, what "ddm" means?

OK for the Title field. Anything can be manually entered. So far I didn't bother at all about education, officiator (title) and even occupations as I didn't enter any such data for my individuals. But I tried a few minutes ago to enter an Education Level and an Officiator Title. I cannot achieve that simply because these 2 fields, unlike the Title field, doesn't have a user input facility. It is, I suppose, what the other users called "free text".
