Full name is controlled by system setting of the Full r name format, if you want to see First name, last and middle name in the full name then you need to change system settings.This change will be applied to only new crecords , it wont change for existing records.

you can't update fullname that's system field . You need to make change in full name format based on your need, once you make change here it will automatically applied for new records created.

Are you opening existing contact by passing parameter? For new contact i can see full name is showing based on parameter passed.

Here is my full name format settings

This is the script i used to pass parameter and open new contact form

var parameters = {};
parameters["firstname"] = "firstname";
parameters["middlename"] = "middlename";
parameters["lastname"] = "lastname";
parameters["telephone1"] = "(425) 555-1234";
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("contact", null, parameters );

I see result as below when contact is opened. As you see below full name shows based on the parameter passed and fullname format correctly

If you are talking about below flyout composite control, One way to stop this popup ( Works properly only in IE) is setfocus to other attribute in the form onload event.

did you save it?

yes it will show, if you press save, required full name error will throw.

if you click the full name and next press save button it will save.

Can you do without click the full name?
