I was looking at the Basic Person Schema just now, and noticed the following on the Name object:

  • familyName is marked as optional
  • middleName is not marked as optional

Is that what you intended?

Also, by the table, title, salutation, and nameFromDate are also required. Should all these be optional?

Thanks,
-Ian

Hi @ianhamilton87 Thanks for the question.

Yes. We marked very few names as mandatory, the reasons for these ones in particular are:

  • In certain cases people don't have middle names
  • In certain cultures people don't use last names

We have corrected title and salutation to be optional now, thanks for the input!

The nameFromDate and nameToDate are also optional in the updated version.
