Update from Crossapp SIG regarding responsive text
Discuss whether we should advocate to add a "pronouns" field to the user record.
- This had been brought up in a JIRA ticket UXPROD-2490.
- The ticket was closed with the conclusion that custom fields would take care of user pronouns
- Subsequent discussion on the ticket implies otherwise.
- Uschi: keep this in mind: https://lokalise.com/blog/complete-guide-to-icu-message-format/#Switch_with_select
Discuss the possibility of allowing RTF or HTML in otherwise plain text fields (also from Crossapp-SIG)
- There's been a discussion of whether we want to change all fields from plain text to allow HTML or RTF (rich-text format).
  - Some have the desire to include clickable links or styled text (i.e., bulleted lists) in some fields.
  - No conclusion has yet been reached.

10 min	Update from Crossapp SIG	Maura	There has been overwhelming support to make text in all fields responsive text, so that it will adjust to changes in height/width of a pane. I hope this means we'll be able to collapse a column when we work in the edit screen anywhere.
30 min	Add a "pronouns" field to the user record	Micah	Previously, UM SIG discussed adding pronouns as a custom field (UXPROD-2490). Current discussion supports including pronouns as its own field instead of as a custom field. Micah can write a feature for adding a field to user record and spec out a Jira ticket. Maura will arrange meeting with RA SIG in early January to get feedback.
15 min	Discuss allowing plain-text fields to be RTF or HTML	Maura	Allowing RTF or HTML in plain-text fields which would allow clickable links. Specifically, doing so in Notes fields. UM-SIG expressed concern: although clickable links may speed up tasks (less copy/paste), this may add complexity to the data export and data import processes. Looking forward to a Jira for this.
