First Name/Nickname in Registrations

[tpeera]

Description

Nickname shows up in the First Name field of a registration. In the Registration Template > Registration form, the Person Field labeled as "First Name" is being used. However, during the registration process, the Nickname field is displayed instead of the First Name. This creates confusion because users see the Nickname on the form and thinking they are seeing the Firstname. This became evident when using Electronic Signature documents and LAVA {{ Registrant.FirstName }}.

Actual Behavior

The Registration Template uses the Person Field = First Name. The registration shows the nickname in the first name field but does not save in the database that way.

Expected Behavior

I would expect the First Name to be displayed as the First Name and the Nickname to be an optional Person Field to display on the registration form.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create an Event Template containing the First Name person field.
  • In the Registration template details, check "Show Family Members".
• Make sure you have a profile you can login with to complete the registration, as well as someone in the family with a different nickname.
• Complete the registration with the selected family member and see their Nickname pop up in the First Name field.

Issue Confirmation
