  • The Gender Values accepted by World-Check One are limited and do not currently match the out of the box values contained in Salesforce GenderIdentity field. Accepted values are "Male", "Female", "Unspecified" and a blank value. to work around this:

    1. Create a custom text formula field that translates the values in the GenderIdentity field.

      Code snipit:
      IF(
      ISBLANK(TEXT(GenderIdentity)),
      "",
      IF(
      OR(
      ISPICKVAL(GenderIdentity, "Male"),
      ISPICKVAL(GenderIdentity, "Female")
      ),
      TEXT(GenderIdentity),
      "Unspecified"
      )
      )
