Existing Contact name is not getting pull into First Name / Last Name

Posted on by 815

Hello,

When existing contact is selected it is not getting update on the first name / last name form.

How to link ?

I am working on MS Dynamic CRM 2016.

Faisal

    From my understanding of your question, that is the correct behavior.

    When you modify your system settings from Last, First to First Last, the existing contact records that were previously created using Last, First will not be automatically modified. The Full Name field will keep the Last, First until the data is modified.

    There are a few ways of dealing with that, but that involves, either creating a workflow (on demand) or SSIS package to fix the data.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Just to clarify, you added the first name field and last name field onto the contact form and those fields are not showing up when you click on an existing contact?

    Best,

    Alexis
