Add "preferred name" option to the header of learning profiles

The Learning Profiles that are created from Academics > Grading > Grading Setup > Learning Profile Forms don't have an option to include the preferred name of the student. In the header of the Learning Profile, it just lists Firstname, Middlename, Lastname.

We have many international students who never go by their legal name at the school, and are only known by their preferred name. Also, we have some gender non-binary students or gender transitioning students that we would prefer to use their preferred name when referring to them, which the learning profile doesn't currently support.

Some kind of checkbox to "include/user preferred name" from the Grades > Grading Setup > Learning Profile Forms > Edit screen would be amazing.

    Agreed, just ran into the same problem as we're rolling out Learning Profiles.

    Core > Users > User Profile Settings > User Name Formats allows you to create different formats for names and specify which is used in which part of the system.

    So it should be easy for BB to leverage that functionality and allow us to set a Name Format specifically for Learning Profiles.
