Hi,
This is an interesting issue. I had a similar problem. In The Netherlands
people have a middle name sometimes:
First name: Louis
Middle name: van
Last name: Gaal
The middle name belongs to the last name, you would say "Mr Van Gaal" but
some systems store the middle name in a separate field. This is even
required for governmental systems. In that case you can get trouble mapping
the names to OTRS.
It would be the best I think to use the full name function you mentioned,
where you can map all fields you want, to create a Full Name field and
include it so you can use it in all the places we now have ”UserFirstname
UserLastname”. What do you think?
