New to Nintex Forms. I created a SharePoint list and generated a SharePoint Nintex Form. In part the list contains three columns concerning a person's name.

First Name

Last Name

Full Name (calculated)

The Full Name column is a calculated column with this formula: =CONCATENATE([First Name]," ",[Last Name])

In my Nintex Form Controls there is no Full Name column in General, List Columns or SharePoint.

Where did it go or why does it not show? Unsure and so far unable to find a good explanation this site or any other; just lots of examples about how to add, subtract, multiply, etc, numbers (or dates) from two fields/columns, etc, in a third--not seemingly my objective but could be for being new not see the solution. I cannot find any postings on this site that explains why my calculated column is missing. I simply want to add it to my form and of course show the results when saved or edited by whatever means best suited. Thanks for the help.

calculated column is not supported in nintex forms designer.  you can use a calculated value control on your form to show the two fields concatenated.

Since I wrote been playing with possible solutions and arrived at calculated value as seeming only solution. Now only need make values proper case and give the control a border to look like the others on form and that should be it. I appreciate your quick and informative response.
