Option datatype as information collector?

In a feedback form I want the user to be able to select one (of two) values (e.g. what sex they are), and submit it together with the rest of the feedback form.

But the option datatype can't be information collector. How do I do it, then?

What I did was create a text line and insert it in the template. Then I found the name of the attribute by viewing the source of the outputed page, and used this as the name in the <select name=""> in the template.

works like a charm :)
