    Hey everyone! It's been really insightful reading through your comments on adding a preferred name field to employees. We see how this feature could help with creating a more inclusive environment, while also helping prevent simple administrative mix-ups.

    There isn’t a dedicated way to manage this in Xero right now, but your feedback has highlighted the opportunity for one. For this reason, we have updated the idea's status to Accepted, confirming our product team agrees this is a feature we’ll put on our radar to consider developing in the future.

    We’ll let you know as soon as we have an update here.

    I have found this thread by searching how to add a preferred name, as honestly I assumed it would already be an option. It is essential for a lot of staff members, it's an equality issue for us as an employer, and it appears that it would be a relatively easy fix for Xero - please could you implement this?
