@saranyavs 

then how would you know which is firstname and which is last name?

User can give Abel Tuter or Tuter Abel

You don't have any source of truth to verify if Abel is firstname or lastname

Hi @saranyavs  ,

you can write the on change client script for your name  field.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '')
        return;

    var regex = /^[A-Za-z]+ [A-Za-z]+$/;

    if (!regex.test(newValue)) {
        g_form.showFieldMsg('u_name',
            'Format must be: Firstname Lastname (Example: John Doe)',
            'error'
        );
    } else {
        g_form.hideFieldMsg('u_name');
    }
}

Hi @saranyavs  ,

Could you please explain the background on your requirement.

Do you have requested for variable (reference variable )in your form. Or  you are placing Name text variable for that purpose.

Or based on other variable selection, you want to populate this name variable.
