Name owners

NameOwner is the interface for a helper object that is passed to the modal PCF files GlobalPersonNameInputSet and GlobalContactNameInputSet. The helper object provides a way to set and get a single name on the enclosing entity. Typically you extend NameOwnerBase, which implements NameOwner.

While NameOwner provides methods for setting a field to be required or visible, generally it is better not to modify or override methods such as isVisible in NameOwnerBase. For most purposes, specifying the set, required, or hidden fields is more easily controlled by overriding property getters such as RequiredFields and HiddenFields declared in NameOwner. You override these property getters with values such as NameOwnerFieldId.REQUIRED_NAME_FIELDS or NameOwnerFieldId.NO_FIELDS.
