Hi,

I need help on making the lastname field as not required. The reason for this is that the Members List must show either an "Individual Member" which is a person or an "Institutional Member" which is not a person but an organization. My plan is to make the firstname field as a common field for both, but lastname should not be "required" so that we are not forced to enter a character as placeholder. The option to disable this as a required field in currently not available from the EasyProfile backend.

How do I do this? I checked the underlying jsn_users table but seems the logic is hardcoded on the application layer not on the database. Would appreciate your assistance to point where to change this on the code (or better, a patch at your end to address this).

Thanks in advance.
