Merge the two profiles into the one that now has the name.

Hi,

Are you not able to do a straight-farward edit? The change of the surname from anonymous should be current surname as well as current name. Both the name and preferred name fields should be the same.

Hope it helps?

Regards,

Wynand

You would be better to merge the two profiles into one ( keeping the lower numbered profile) and that will result in a single profile and you can also edit out any other errors if there are any.
