Add Sexuality Field to Character Template Sidebar

Article-template Character-template
Not long ago, there was a field in the sidebar of the Character Template to list a character's sexuality. This was moved with a recent update to be in the main body of the text, which makes it awkward for those who only want to use single-word reminders for character sexuality.   I realise that the key::value option exists, however this places the field either at the top or the bottom of the sidebar, which is less useful and intuitive than having the field alongside sex and gender (where it used to be).   I would like to request that you add a field for sexuality that is situated either just above or just below the gender identity fields.   Thank you.

The Team's Response

Hello there, SebGreg732! Thank you for this request! - I can see that sexuality appears in the body of the article, and this was originally placed so that people could expound upon that journey, if they chose. This being said, we will add a sidebar option for "Sexual Orientation" and keep Sexuality where it is.

    I like the idea of having a short and long version for sidebar and main body.

    Agree with what someone else said, having a manual sidebar toggle would be great for this.

    In all honesty, I think text should either have a manual sidebar toggle, or it should be moved based on the length of the text.

    This is a good suggestion. The main body prompt shouldn't be removed, but a sidebar option should absolutely be added. And I agree with the suggestion about it being placed with the gender identity fields.

    I agree, the sidebar is a better place for the sexuality field.

    The expanded prompts in this area are really good, but this does seem like a bit of an oversight. No harm in adding a sidebar field too, as far as I can see.
