The Full Name field stores a person's name in parts: title, first name, middle name and last name, with the parts you choose turned on. On a form it collects each part separately, and in formulas and automations each part can be used on its own.

Why use the Full Name field?
A form with a Full Name field collects first and last names in separate boxes, which keeps the data clean.
Views can sort, filter and group records by First Name, Middle Name or Last Name.
Formulas and automations can read one part, such as the first name for a greeting.
How do I add a Full Name field?
Add it from Grid View or from a record.
From Grid View
Open the table in Grid View.
Select the + at the end of the field row, or open a column's drop-down menu and select Add Field to the Right.
Select Full Name, name the field and set its options.
Select Add Field.
From Record View
Open a record.
Select the + beside an existing field (or + Add new field to this Table at the bottom of the record).
Select Full Name, name the field and set its options.
Select Add Field.
Which settings does it have?
Display Fields: First Name and Last Name are always on. Turn on Middle Name and Title as needed.
Edit the list of titles to add your own.
Require an entry in this field: a REQUIRED label is shown next to the field name. A record cannot be saved until First Name and Last Name are filled in, and also Title when Title is turned on (for example, 'Full Name is required'). Middle Name stays optional.
How does it work in formulas and automations?
The Full Name field is a compound field. In a Formula field, reach a part with dot notation, for example [Full Name].[First Name] or [Full Name].[Last Name]. In an automation, pick a single part in a condition or when mapping the field into an action.
