First and Last Name missing and Full Name appearing in Contact Table
Hi Community,
We are inserting records in GivenName and Surname fields in Contact Table via API. We are seeing full name in the Name field in UI (which is a concatenation of GivenName and Surname), but the GivenName and Surname fields are blank. How can we get GivenName and Surname to display values?
Thanks

Dear Puneet
You may have some considerations to treat contact names in Creatio:
- 1.- Adjust the System Setting called: ContactFieldConverter (Order of first/last names) to Creatio complete Full Name based on the specified selection
- 2.- You must select one of the provided choices to Creatio convert the Full name of the contact, see the image
3.- Have in consideration Contact field names are as follows (Code/Title):
- - Full name: Name
- - First Name: GivenName
- - Middle Name: MiddleName
- - Last Name: Surname
- 4.- Also, if you need to display some of the contact name fields, you need to add them in the Contacts_FormPage

Hello !
We're also adding API contacts
I don't fill in the GivenName or Surname when I create the contact, just the Name.
If I check the database, the GivenName and Surname have been filled in.

Thanks Julio! My query is little different. I am sending GivenName and Surname using API. Creatio system is creating Full Name automatically using GivenName and Surname. In the contact section list I see Full Name populated; but GivenName and Surname are blank. How can I get GivenName and Surname to display on the section list? Screenshot:
Dear Puneet,
You must have in consideration to insert records in Creatio via OData or importing from excel, YOU MUST include all required fields, in this case Full Name is a required field, sou you need provide it in the API JSON.
Also if you provide this data in the JSON they must be inserted in Creatio. Can you share the JSON and Method you are using to insert on Creatio?
Try to use a tool like SQL Query to made a select to all records to see where are the data you 're inserting

I tried with this JSON and works
{ "GivenName": "John", "MiddleName": "Fitzgerald", "Surname": "Kennedy", "BirthDate": "1990-01-01T15:24:00Z", "TypeId": "60733efc-f36b-1410-a883-16d83cab0980" }
