Import targets without Last name

[ysh]

Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction concerning the
possibility of disabling the requirement for 'last name' when
importing Targets (via CVS) ?

I've tried to apply the approach suggested for importing Leads
without 'last name' which works in the case of creating Targets
without this required field, but not when importing them.

Thanks

Did you try creating an extended vardefs for Leads where you update the required to false?
Go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I did indeed create a vardefs.ext.php for Prospects in order to
state that the field was no longer required when importing
targets within the Campaign module :

sugarcrm/custom/Extension/modules/Prospects/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php

 <?php
$dictionary['Prospect']['fields']['last_name']['required'] = false;
?>  

Is this modification still valid with version 5.2.0c ?

Were you suggesting that I create one for leads as well ?
Well, I tried anyway and the symptom is the same : I can manually create a lead, devoid of 'Last Name',
but when I attempt to import leads from a CVS file, the 'Last Name' field remains required :
Error => "Missing Required Fields: last_name'

Thanks
