Description

We have requests to support people with additional fields.

Dr. Nathan J James Jr.

Currently people are stuffing the extra content into the first and last name field. This change would provide additional optional fields for the person content type.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Mass.gov project’s person content type and its current name fields. Determine the required optional fields from the request and confirm how they should support additional person content without overloading first and last name. Done means the fields and their expected behavior are defined and implemented with appropriate coverage.
