name field shows null values

[ryadavalli]

For some reason, the list view of the name column on the user record shows up null as part of name field. but when I click on it, it displays normal first name last name in the name field.

Okay If I just change the calculation, they I need to run your script, to make sure that the list views have same as the record value.

That's correct. Calculations are only done on record updates (similar to business rules.) You MAY see it displayed properly in certain situations because the system WILL calculate on the fly, but it is not a saved value and may cause performance issues due to the time it takes to calculate that field every time.

okay if I want to backout my change to the old calculation script, after back out, I should run this script right. And can I back out old update set?

Hi Ravali,

Yes, you should run the script after any change to the calculation.
