Many times a middle name is legally required. Would be nice to have a checkbox to in the canned Gravity Forms Name field to display First and Last OR First, Middle, Last

We will definitely be adding a Name Format option to the Name field that displays First, Middle and Last Name. It won't be in the next release (which is primarily a bug fix/api hook release) but it is something we are going to be adding.

Gravity Team...

I have successfully added a middle initial box for my forms only when I use the extended name format, and all appears to be working correctly except when it sends the form across via email the field MiddleN, I created, is not showing up in the form results.

Can you tell me what file builds the first + last names to begin with? I think its missing the MiddleN I created.

I changed the common.php :
- case "name" to include middlen
- switch($field["nameFormat"]){ to include middlen only in extended name format
I also changed it in another file to make sure it checks for required tag.

Please help me out..what file am I missing.

thanks

I figured it out.. I had placed all the right variables everywhere, but did not put in a new Name componant with the new variables. The DB had the old not the new.

All is good.

Just adding my request for a format that includes first, middle initial (at least) and last names.
