Xero Tax (UK) - Ability to bulk update format of director name
In Xero Tax, you should be able to change the name format for all directors even if they've been appointed after the Accounts Year End. Currently if you've changed the name format for directors previously from 'SURNAME, Name' to 'Name Surname' when a new director is appointed post year end, they are brought into the company information page with 'SURNAME Name' format and there is no ability to change the format to 'Name Surname' to match the others so you then need to change the other directors to 'SURNAME Name' format to match. The ability to change format is a great feature to be able to improve the Accounts aesthetics but this defeats the purpose of adding the ability to change the format.

We have the same issue, we are a firm of accountants preparing accounts for clients and ourselves. The inconsistency in the format of the directors names is a show stopper for us as we cannot release accounts with such a shoddy format. We have gone back to using CCH Wolters Kluwer accounts production where new directors have been appointed after the year end date.
