What Do You Recommend? I think that the possibility of adding a “first name” AND a “last Name” in the header of the type “human” should be possible. Now this header as “Name” in grid view. That is not convenient when you want to create (for example) a people database. Most humans in this world have…

You can create your own Relations for it. But it has also a downside. We need in deed improvements here. The downside: When you divide the name in first name and second name, think what happens if you search for “Michael Smith”. There are many guys called “Michael”. (Also many “Smith”) That’s …

I now see the difficulty indeed. I did not think about the problem of searching both first and last name. I assumed it would just (magically) work I guess. Thank you for this very clear answer.

Yes. I use this three Relations: First name Second name Name (combined first an second name) The reason for it: This way I can sort the Set’s or Collection’s Grid either for first name or for second name. But I can also search for the whole name. I use the combined Relation “Name” as title in …

I see, it’s a good work around and I guess I can live with it too as long as my work situation gives me enough time to fill three fields “just” to enter someone’s name. Hopefully I’ll get faster at it with time. Thank you again @Code-Jack .

This is a similar issue mentioned here [image] Derived Relations ( Formulas ) Feature Requests Hi, I’m two days into Anytype, first post. I’ve been using Coda for a while, mainly as a repository for reference data that I need to build for another system (its ability to b…

Hi, I have more issues with the relation “Name” I am currently trying to set up a database for medical appointments but no matter what you create there seem to always be a “relation” “Name” that is created. This “Name” relation does not create a “human” type like in my previous problem (customer da…

See each Object as a file in your operating system. Each file must have a (unique) file name. That’s the Relation “Name” you see in the Grid. Anytype is more flexible then the operating systems file handling, because Objects in Anytype can (but shouldn’t) have the same name. You use it wrong, if…

Thank you @Code-Jack for this very complete answer. I’m afraid I wasn’t clear, though. I already know and understand very well what you explained about the tags. The repeated names were just an example of what would happen if I leave these fields untouched (from the template). Each file must have…

[image] Anyotherguy: What you say there is quite astonishing : Objects in Anytype can (but shouldn’t) have the same name Does it mean that the responsibility to remember every name ever given to not make any doubles is left to the user? Try to link to another Object by using a Relation i…

Hi @Code-Jack thank you again for the answer and sorry for the delay of this answer. I tried what you recommended me to try (link two objects with the same name and besides the fact that you can’t tell which is which, I don’t see the problem. [image] To be honest, I don’t understand your example…
