Split Name Field in 2

V5 Question
#1

Is it possible to split the Name in the Name field into First Name, Last Name? If not I will add two extra Custom Fields.

If I do that are there any ramifications in having the Name field blank (or even deleting the Name field altogether)?

#2

Where do you need to use the split values?
A quick script could seperate on first space or other pattern.

#3

I want to use the first name for kitchen/coffee order tickets. We have a lot of regular customers so when they ā€˜tagā€™ in their name will show on the ticket.

#4

At first create script.

function split(name) {
var str = name;
var res = str.split(" ");
return res[0]
}

Then paste code below to ticket template where you want.
{CALL:splitd.split(ā€™{ENTITY NAME}ā€™)}

If your customer name is ā€œsalim arda koseā€. will write only ā€œsalimā€

if you want to write ā€œArdaā€ use this script

function split(name) {
var str = name;
var res = str.split(" ");
return res[1]
}

or for write ā€œkƶseā€ use this

function split(name) {
var str = name;
var res = str.split(" ");
return res[2]
}

only change 0,1,2, ā€¦
.

Thanks Ilyas, that worked a treat! :+1::+1:

I had to use this though:
[='{ENTITY NAME:Customers}'.replace(/ (.*)/g,"")]
