Make Race and "Is Latino/Hispanic? Yes/No/No Answer" available on School Forms

As you guys add new user fields to Core, it would be super helpful if those were made available at the same time in School Forms. We do a diversity survey every year where we ask families for Religion and what used to be Ethnicity. For religion, we prefer the Profile Update form, because the dropdown options pull from our table. We were all set to migrate our Ethnicity data over to the new Race field, but there is no Race option in any School Forms.

If we went ahead w/ Profile Update form, relabling Ethnicity as Race, there is no "form field" widget where we add the "Is Latino/Hispanic?" with Y/N/NA buttons... And even at that, we would have to export-import the Ethnicity into Race.

If we choose a blank form instead - not so arduous for race alone because there are not so many values. But if we want to include religion in the same form, it would mean adding around 80 table values manually. Not to mention, we would then have to turn around and import the results.

So, yeah. Great updates - keep 'em coming. But the new values need to be everywhere upon release.

    Same thing with Gender and Pronouns. Should be available on a Profile Form

    This is especially a pain point for collecting Parent 'Race' field. This new field is not available in the Profile Update School Form in any way, and is also not available in the Household block of the Application or Inquiry.
