So in my form it’s taking info about my clients’ dog. When I recall the dog’s name that’s great but I’d love to be able to also use proper pronouns and say “You stated that Bailey likes treats. Does she like ...” is there away for me to incorporate and use pronouns properly on forms?

Hey @sgreer76. Welcome to the Community! 🤩

I hear you - it would be awesome to recognize it and use the proper pronoun based on gender. However, it is not possible for Typeform to recognize if it's a female or male name - even for humans it might be tricky depending on the name 😅 

 

The good news is that I could think of a workaround that might work: 

First, ask if the dog is male or female. Then, build logic jumps based on the answer. You could build something like this:

Question 1:
"What is the gender of your dog?"
Option A: Male
Option B: Female 

If [Question 1] is [Male] then jump to "What is his name?"
If [Question 1] is [Female] then jump to "What is her name?"

 

And then you'd be using the same logic to build all the following logic jumps, creating the questions twice (updating the pronoun accordingly) and sending the respondent to the right question based on the gender of the dog. 🐶 Does it make sense to you?
