    hi tom,

    i think i found it.actually when create a new field with type as personname by default it create 3 types of field 

    like,

    name_givenname

    name_middlename

    name_surname 

    i am not sure why (still looking in to it).same happen when you create a field type currency by default it create, 

    currency

    currency_Currencycode

    thanks for your reply tom.

    Hi Ganesh, thanks for reaching out.

    Can you clarify where you created these new entities and what the data source connection was?

    Are these in the Common Data Model or in Dynamics?

    Thanks.
