Entity name format changed on import

alcoma

Hello,

In the past when I have imported entities or updated records with entity names, they were imported as formatted in the spreadsheet ( LastName, FirstName). This is the first time I have experienced the names displaying as "FirstName LastName" after the import. Did I miss something in my entitySplitter settings ? This is what I used:
{
"delimiter": ";",
"matchOn": ["labels", "idno"],
"entityType": "individual",
“relationshipType”:"featured"
}

Also, this display format is only affecting new entities; if an entity already exists in C/A it imports and displays correctly. ?

Check your mapping for 'defaultDisplaynameFormat' setting. This needs to be set as 'surnameCommaForename' to import the way you want, it defaults to 'forenamemiddlenamesurname'

you can also add to your refinery:
{“displaynameFormat”: “surnameCommaForename”}

Thanks Monica!
Unfortunately the same problem persists after trying it with the "displaynameFormat".
It is only happening with new entities that are being created via the import. Since it is not a huge lot of names I may just edit the display name for now, but would like to know what is preventing me from importing the names "as-is". Here is my code in case you see anything wrong with it:
{
"delimiter": ";",
"matchOn": ["labels", "idno"],
"entityType": "individual",
"displaynameFormat": "surnameCommaForename",
"relationshipType": "featured"

}

PS: Where would the 'defaultDisplaynameFormat' setting go in the mapping ? (If not using it in the refinery ?)
