First Name Missing in Reports
In some reports, a member in our ward does not have a first name. For example, on the officers sustained report or in the leadership directory, it only shows his last name. I cannot figure out why. His name is correct in his membership record and his preferred name is the same as his actual name. Any ideas?

Duplicate membership record (with a missing first name)? Any of the names exceptionally long such that it goes into the other's field? Any signs of a stray character, perhaps at the beginning of the field?

Where are you looking that you see this? Is there a pattern? I noticed the two examples you gave were both "leadership". What happens if you re-sustain or release and re-sustain him?
Just for kicks, I added a "Ty Ng" to my test MLS system, to test short names, but it seems to be fine.
