Hi @dannyh,

Not sure if this is the answer that you are looking for, but you can remove the middle name from the Employee File(highlighted below).

Thank you for the answer. But let me emphasize a bit more. I need the middle name in the employee file and I need it to be disabled in all other windows across the application. Any leads?

Hi @dannyh,
 

Can you follow the below step and check if it works?

  1.  Go to System Definitions window > Object Property tab and search for the Object LU : PersonInfo.
  2.  Set the Property Value to ‘FALSE’ and save.

 

  1. Go to Persons window > RMB > Select ‘Update Person Names..’
     
    1. Give ‘Yes’ and ‘OK’ to the dialog box below.
       

       

  2. 5. When you go to other windows the middle name should be disabled now.

Hope the above information helps you. :relaxed:

In order to stop displaying the middle name in Employee related windows you can set it by using Internal Display Name. Remove the middle name there and application wont show middle name anymore.

 

E.g -

Hi

 

Object Property EXPOSE_MIDDLE_NAME in System Definitions window actually controls how the middle name is displayed PERSON related windows in the application. You can use both these settings to avoid displaying middle name in the application
