name order in email variables
the current RoleContactName variable -- {{$pro.vars.RoleContactName.-1}} -- in email is set up as Last, First. It would be nice for the variable to produce First Last or just First.

Kenny MI'm adding an emphatic "second" to this suggestion!
When using that variable in the emails being sent, it renders out the contact name as "Lastname,Firstname".
This feels basically unusable in an email, since you'd never email someone (example John Smith) and say "Hello Smith,John!"
Instead, I'd want to say "Hello John Smith!" or just "Hello John!"
Most ideal solution:
Make 2 new separate variables for "first name" and "last name", to be used separately. That way we can choose to append them to each other if we want to.
Less ideal solution:
Adjust how the current variable renders so it is "firstname lastname"
Thank you for the consideration! -

Catalin FedelesI would love to see this implemented. We can use it in contract letters where we usually do First, Last.
