The names are already splitted wen importing from google. Google allow you to enter the full name once but it split the name automatically based on spaces, or you can expand the name field and enter each part of the name individually.
Since the field name on EDS database has a separated field for each part of the name, in the previous version we already saved the "last name" on the last-name field we can not change that. If you want the last name to be the middle name you need to move it manually to the correct field. In Brazil we have the same problem, our names has 3 parts <name> <mother-name> <father-name>. All contacts created by me on the previous version was created with <name> <father-name>. This is common to use <father-name> as last name in any kind of document. Now in the new version if you want you can add the <mother-name> to your contacts. But if you used the <mother-name> in previous version there is no other way than edit it and move it to middle name. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to address-book-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548783 Title: Spanish surnames incorrectly imported and discarded Status in Canonical System Image: Fix Committed Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In Spain it is customary to have two surnames, both necessary for legal effects. As an example: Jordi López Echevarría Where the first is the given name, followed by the first surname and the second surname. When importing the contacts from gmail, it seems the first surname is being discarded (I assume they are treated as middle name?), resulting in an incorrect contact name in the Ubuntu address book. e.g.: Jordi Echevarría To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1548783/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
