# NewConsumerInput

input type

Create-input for a Consumer. The tenant (org group) is derived SERVER-SIDE from the principal. ⚠ NO password field — credentials NEVER ride a construct shape: a staff-created Consumer is born WITHOUT self-service; resetConsumerPassword arms it. Self-registration (consumerRegister) shares this shape + a password argument.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `caption` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | Optional: when omitted the per-type default applies — the display name when given, else the NORMALIZED email (the identity line); when supplied it must be non-blank. |
| `email` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | yes | The login identity — normalized server-side; the (group × email) UNIQ marker reserves in the create transaction. |
| `displayName` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |
| `phones` | [String](/types/#scalars) `[String!]` | no | No further notes. |
| `addresses` | [ConsumerAddressInput](/types/ConsumerAddressInput/) `[ConsumerAddressInput!]` | no | No further notes. |
| `priceGroupId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) | no | Gated in-tenant + ACTIVE at set (the carrier law). ⚠ STAFF-only: the self-register lane (consumerRegister) refuses it. |
| `tagIds` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `[ID!]` | no | The Tag attachment set (at most 64, unique) — each ref gated in-tenant + ACTIVE. ⚠ STAFF-only: consumerRegister refuses it (the priceGroupId law). |
| `locale` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | Preferred locale — canonical BCP-47 core (the ONE / locale shape, case-canonical STRICT: ll / ll-CC / ll-Ssss\[-CC]); the i18n resolution consumes it. |
| `displayCurrency` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | DISPLAY-ONLY currency preference (ISO-4217 alpha-3, SHAPE + SET membership since): render prices in this currency where a conversion exists. ⚠ NEVER an evaluation input — carts/orders/documents stay org-currency. |
| `dateOfBirth` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | Date-only YYYY-MM-DD, calendar-real, ≥ 1900-01-01; the not-in-the-future half rides the KIT write gate. Drives the age-restricted-sale gate WHEN that builds (data-only now — the named deferral) + the birthday registries. |
| `commsFrequency` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | Contact-cadence preference AMONG CONSENTED channels — immediate \| daily \| weekly \| monthly (canned v1 registry; enforcement = the comms build's named deferral). |
| `commsFormat` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | Message-format preference — plain \| rich (canned v1 registry). |
| `commsTopics` | [String](/types/#scalars) `[String!]` | no | Comms topic interests ('about what') — ≤ 16, each trimmed 1..64; a supplied list REPLACES WHOLESALE on edit (the book law). |
| `interests` | [String](/types/#scalars) `[String!]` | no | General interest tags (the segment raw material) — ≤ 16, each trimmed 1..64; a supplied list REPLACES WHOLESALE on edit. |
| `preferredLogicalFacilityId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) | no | The preferred store/LF: gated in-tenant + ACTIVE LF at write (the priceGroupId gate class); an LF dying LATER degrades at read — never a profile-killing throw. |
