The "Nick Name" / "Nickname" Field
February 26, 2013, 01:34:02 pm
I don't know where the appropriate place would be to bring this up...

In the Edit Contact screens, the field is labeled "Nick Name", which is incorrect.  When it is displayed for a contact, the label is displayed as "Nickname", which is correct.

When adding the field to a Webform in Drupal, it shows up as "Nick Name" in the build screen, which is, again, incorrect.  The default label on a Webform is then also incorrect.

Obviously, the label in Webform is easy enough to correct, but I don't know where to report the inconsistency and to request that "Nick Name" be changed in the pure Edit Contact screen.
