Thanks a ton. I was able to fix the name.
Woohoo! @HyJohn.
So happy we were able to get this worked out. Let me know if I can assist with anything further.
I am running into a similar issue except my person has the wrong display name. Is there a way I can alter that? I already changed their preferred name in QuickBooks but it hasn't altered the display name in time.
Thanks for joining the thread, Jen.

This didn't work. I'm using Quickbooks Online Payroll and Quickbooks Time. I successfully imported from inside QB Time, but it still shows the legal name for my Team member, not the preferred first name I entered in QB Online Payroll. What am I missing?
Allow me to dive into this thread to assist you, @beancounter21. I’ll provide you valuable details concerning showing the legal name of your team and not the preferred first name you entered in QuickBooks Online Payroll to QuickBooks Time.
The ability to show the preferred first name and not the legal name in QuickBooks Time from QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll is not yet available at the moment, even if you decide to change the preferred first name in QuickBooks Payroll it will still show the legal name in QuickBooks Time.
