The extended has prefix, suffix, but no middle initial? Please do.

You should definitely make it happen. Seems like it wouldn't be to difficult to add this option, given the great amount of options you've already built into the plugin.</p> <p>It's a solid plugin overall, I was just kind of surprised no middle name option. Thanks for the feedback. For now I'll use three input fields and styling as you suggested. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/middle-initial-needed-for-name-field#post-317417 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:13:26 +0000 David Peralty 317417@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We don't have this field option currently, it might be added in the future. For now, three input fields using gf_inline should give you what you need. All my best! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/middle-initial-needed-for-name-field#post-317411 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:08:50 +0000 rd458 317411@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I need a middle name or middle initial option for the Name field. I don't see this option though. It would be tremendously helpful as many forms require middle initial and most school and government type forms require full middle names. Is this a built-in feature already and I'm just not seeing it?</p> <p>If not, what is the best way to work-around this? I am thinking I'll have to use 3 [ single line text ] fields?</p> <p>Will you add this to a future release? </p>
