How do you change Last Name to not be a Required Field and Select another Table Key?

How do you change Last Name to not be a Required Field and Select another Table Key?

The primary "name" field of each object is always required, and may not be changed. Account Name, Last Name (lead, contact), Opportunity Name, Product Name, Pricebook Name, etc... all are required by the system. Some objects use an auto-number field, in which case that will be the required field (it will be read-only). Cases are a notable example of this.

You cannot remove that required validation for the Lastname field. Second part of your query is unclear.

What about changing to a People account and renaming Last Name to Company?

Hi,

 

If you are looking for Lastname field in User object , it is not possible to make it non-mandatory.

 

I didnot get 'Select another Table Key?'
