Gender form input should be a dropdown instead of freetext field

Sex should be a drop down with just male and female

I propose removing this type and replacing it with a select_one type. This not only addresses the gender issue but also enables the selected items to be transformed into a dropdown. The parameter will be an object with key = select-option value and value = label.

Sounds good @inromualdo! Interested to learn which of these tests will work after the change. If we break a few, I think that'd be okay - let's just be clear on what the new select_one (or just select?) interface supports when data comes from CSVs,

This may also be useful for @paulpascal to address this feedback.

It could just be select. I initially used select_one, thinking we might add select_multiple later. However, in the contact creation forms across several projects, I haven't seen any multiple-choice elements. So, we can simply stick with select.

It would look like this:

Either options are added directly in the configs (Gender) or in a separate CSV file (Level Of Study).

After the change, all gender tests will fail unless we leave the type gender and add the select type alongside it.

The genarated html will be:

@inromualdo , we will have select multiple with roles (related #86 )

How many levels of study are there? Interested in why you're thinking a csv is needed here since parameter already supports array[] (eg. "parameter": ["one", "two", "three"])

Gender supports some weird cases like mapping F > Female and Woman > Female. I doubt those would be easily handled by this select_one type.

This is just an example. Here, there is 5. But in the CIV project we have a select_one with more than 200 items.

In this example, I use object, so that I can display a friendly label

I doubt those would be easily handled by this select_one type

Those would be handled.
