Option to override auto-capitalisation of surname for Applicants

Please could you make it possible to override the auto-capitalisation of the first letter in the surname field on Applicants? It appears to be possible to do this for current pupils, but not while they are applicants.

We currently have several German applicants whose surnames start with 'von'. In all cases the v should be lower case but iSams does not let you save the record with a lower case v - it always auto-capitalises it as Von.
Thank you

    Yes please to this idea! We have many international students / parents who have a lower case aspect to their surname e.g. di Rossi

    Interestingly the Name fields in the Admission Portal Forms allow you select whether you want proper case or not, meaning that applications can be submitted with lower case naming but you can't actually change/manager lower case in Admissions Manager/Student Manager.
