The ability to have a drop-down for prefix information

Schools would like the ability to have the prefix be a drop-down option rather then a text field

      Is Blackbaud ever going to consider this? It would be an obvious improvement, and be consistent with other BB software (RE)!

      Should be merged with this: https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12CO-I-2720

      Sorely needed, for data integrity and addressing consistency!

      There's so much unnecessary work cleaning up incorrect/inconsistent prefixes inputted by users. Seems like a no-brainer to implement this, and other Blackbaud solutions have prefix tables.

      There is a similar idea here.  Vote for it too! https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12OB-I-287

      Agreed! We had people typing in their first names in prefix or random nonsense. In RE we need to maintain consistency. They see a field and just type things in it and don't check.

      This is especially more important as more schools opt to head for RE NXT and connect the two databases. Keeping this list to a set number of options is integral.
