Set email id to name field

[Sanket Kutwal]

Hello Peeps,

I want to set email id in the name field , currently name field shows the first name and last name, we already have first name and last name fields in the form, name field just takes values from both fields and shows first name and last name combinely.

2. Right click -> configure dictionary -> in the below ss you can check the code is already written in Calculate value to display the first name and last name in name field.

I want to display the email id in the name field instead of first name and last name, is it possible to do?

Let me know if you have answer for this, thanks in advance!

Thank you!

Hi @Sanket Kutwal 

Greetings!!

You are trying to break the foundation here and it is not recommended. We already have email field as well, why you want to set the name with email field, also OOTB Name has concatenation of FN+LN , so it is not a good way.

What is your use case for this.,

If you return the email from the Calculation script then it will set email of the user in the name field.

Please refer following screenshots:

what point it serves adding email in name field?

Is that a valid business requirement?
