Symptoms

When attempting to use Page and Field Configurator to hide the 'Male or Female' field - that displays on the Student Information tab of the Correct ISIR Records Components and is represented in the database as ISIR_STUDENT.SFA_STDNT_GENDER -  the field is not available to be selected.

Information on gender could be considered sensitive data, and therefore should be available to be masked or hidden. Since this particular field is a radio button, it can't be effectively masked (compared with SSN and other sensitive fields), but schools may instead choose to try to hide the field altogether.  

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

1. Navigate to Enterprise Components > Page and Field Configuration > Page and Field Configurator.
2. Add new value for Component Name ISIR_CORRPIA23, market Global, configuration type Standard.
3. On first tab, click Select Fields, with Primary Page set to '01-Student Information', and nothing for secondary page.
4. Review the available list of 126 fields presented, and note that SFA_STDNT_GENDER is not in the list.
