Middle names visible in RE NXT

We need to be able to see middle names and first names vs preferred names in the constituent summary of RE NXT. Right now the only way to see that information is to click 'edit' and 'name'. This is really slow if you have multiple constituents with the same first and surname and are trying to differentiate by middle name. It also massively increases the risk of someone inadvertently changing the names when they have to click 'edit' just to be able to check them

    the display name format needs to be adjustable- here is what happens when a spouse has a preferred name (and it happens to be the middle name)

    Yes, and all the other Name fields as well. ( I have submitted idea RENXT-I-8321 )

    We are entering all the data, but we are at the mercy of how the Individual Display Name is configured. This is unacceptable. Including everything in the Individual Display Name is not the answer as it is messy and confusing for people to look at. (The Individual Display name should be configured to match a Name Format of our choosing. - There are several ideas (pleas) for this in the idea bank)

    Other alternatives to view this data through Web View are also unacceptable such as opening the Edit Name area (which is not accessible by all users) or having to use a Query and outputting all the Name fields.

    Thanks.

    We can see it in the title bar depending on our settings. That isn’t that helpful as you can’t tell where one field enda and the next begins. Love this idea.
