Description

We have requests to support people with additional fields.

Dr. Nathan J James Jr.

Currently people are stuffing the extra content into the first and last name field. This change would provide additional optional fields for the person content type.

Research direction

Start with issue #103 and its JIRA reference DP-9442; inspect the current person content type and any project decision about the requested fields. Done means the person content type supports optional prefix, middle initial, and suffix fields without requiring that information in the first or last name fields.
