Common causes

  • A single-name local field was split incorrectly.
  • First and last names came from different contacts.
  • A blank or space-only value disappeared during extraction.
  • Field-length or character validation removed one component.
  • Guardian 1/2 values shifted during import.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Inspect Guardian 2 as a whole

    Review fields 2.41, 2.42, and 2.50 together.

  2. 2

    Verify the person

    Use authorized source information and confirm names belong together.

  3. 3

    Complete or clear the pair

    Populate both supported names or leave both blank.

  4. 4

    Check Guardian 1 sequencing

    Ensure Guardian 1 is populated first when Guardian 2 is reported.

  5. 5

    Repair and audit

    Correct the SIS/extract, resubmit, and review other partial name pairs.
