On customer card when I select a contact in "Contact code" field, contact name is not appearing in "Contact name" field. There is a name for the contact on the contact card. Does anyone know the logic behind this?
Contact name field is not editable as well.

Hi, This is standard behavior and requires simple customization if you need to change it.

Thanks.

As the other users mentioned the contact type needs to be person. If its company the name will not display.

It is company type. Should it be a person type?

Hi

What type of contact are you choosing? Company or person?
Look at this example from a cronus company.
