Ability to include all Core Relationship to applicant selections in Relationship to applicant dropdown

Schools would like to gather relationship information such as Uncle/Aunt and Cousin through an application. Currently, the relationships exist in Core but are not available in onBoard.

    This would be very helpful to us, especially as we have schools all over the world. Please add those relationships or have the ability to make a custom relationship list

    This causes quite the hiccup in our data Integrity and continuity within Blackbaud across all products. Relationships are everything in our small private school.

    Yes, family connections are important in building legacy connections to drive campaigns and pipeline strategy.

    We would love to be able to link aunts/cousins to current students as it is very important at our girls schools.

    Please add aunt and cousin under relationship types. This is critical information for us to note as a girls school.

    We would really like to include aunt and cousin under relationship types. As a girls school, these connections are really important for us to note.

    Highly voted idea, added in 2017 (!!), seems like an obvious improvement....please add this.

    this would be very helpful. We often have candidates who have had Uncles, Cousins attend our HS.

    this is much needed, or at the very least allow applicants to type in the relationship type if they choose other.

    This is sad something so simple as a drop down field hasn't been updated in 5 years.

    This would be very helpful. We often have candidates who are the grandchild or niece/nephew of other users.

    We encourage our families to share their connections to our school and the limited relationships make it difficult.

    We really need flexibility in this field to extract information at the Application stage.  Aunt/Uncle/cousin would be a start at minimum.
