Hi @Wendy_Vaes!

There is no native `legal_form` drop on the `person` object in Silverfin. To add it in your own template, you need to use a **custom field** via `person.custom`. You can name it freely, for example:

```auto
<tr>
  <td>Legal form</td>
  <td>{% input person.custom.legal_form placeholder:"" %}</td>
</tr>

```

Add this inside your `{% fori person in people %}` loop where you display the shareholder’s general info.

A working example would be:

```auto
{% fori person in period.people %}
    <table class="usr-width-100">
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td class="usr-width-50">Legal form</td>
          <td class="usr-width-50">
            {% input person.custom.legal_form placeholder:"" %}
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
{% endfori %}

{% comment %}print given legal forms{% endcomment %}
{% for person in period.people %}
 {{ person.custom.legal_form }}
{% endfor %}

```

I hope this helps and provides a bit of guidance!

Kind regards,

Delphine
