Altru Ideas

Users would like to be able to add one name format for spousal relationships that automatically formats based on the last names of the individuals, like so:



John Smith and Jane Smith = John and Jane Smith


John Smith and Jane Doe = John Smith and Jane Doe



Currently they cannot account for couples with the same last and different last names within the same name format. Users can add a name format for [First name] [Last name] and [Spouse first name] [Spouse last name] but this will show my first example as John Smith and Jane Smith for spouses with the same last name. So they must either edit the single name format for the other situation, or add two name formats and delete the incorrect one. Interestingly Household record names do follow the formatting above by default.
