This is a total long shot, but here goes.

My (old) responsive form has a single line text box where the name of 'the person making the complaint' needs to be entered.  These are not people internal to our company, so I can't use a 'people field' here.  The group wants to enforce a "Last name, First name" format, but does not want to have a seperate field for inputting a Last Name and a First Name (go figure!).  I've pretty much told them I cannot enforce that type of formatting (to get myself off the hook), but figured I would throw it out here and see if anyone has suggestions.

Note: I can not use any custom coding, so I'm hoping for solutions either using RegEx or rules, etc.

How about a Submit rule?
Here's a rule definition to to start with:
if FullName does not contain ,
then FullName Show validation error LastName, FirstName

The business unit signed off on it... which amazes me in and of itself! Thanks v-tmasenko!

I built an 'invalidate' rule ...

!contains({Self}, ",")
