The above works, once the missing close paren is added and manx_length is
changed to max_length on the 'other' field. I cut-and-pasted what you have
into a test project, made those changes, and registered person with the
admin. Then, when I add a person in the admin, the other field is set
properly based on the gender value. So, I am not sure what is going on with
your setup. The fact that you are not having trouble with manx_length
suggests maybe this code is not actually the code being used when you are
testing?
