<pre>I reopen it, because I thing removing the "first name" field is an error.
There is a further complain on the German Ask site, read
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/de/question/93363/5303-benutzerdaten-wieder-umstellen-auf-vor-und-nachname/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/de/question/93363/5303-benutzerdaten-wieder-umstellen-auf-vor-und-nachname/</a>.
The version 5.3 is still "fresh" and likely not often used enterprises. I fear,
that there will be more complains, when the 5.3 versions comes to enterprises.
There are further problems in addition:
Removing the field from UI does not erases it from file format. The associated
element <text:sender-first> exists in ODF (see
<a href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#element-text_sender-firstname">http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#element-text_sender-firstname</a>).
It is against interoperability to leave it empty and merge this information
into another field.
The service com::sun::star::text::textfield::ExtendedUser has a constant group
com::sun::star::text::UserDataPart with value FIRSTNAME. It is published API
and should not be changed. Existing macros might not work as intended, if the
content of this field is empty.
The variable user_firstname can be used in conditions to hide parts of the
text. Such documents no longer work.
I cannot find a request to remove the field or a discussion about the topic. I
personally see no considerable reason to remove the "first name" field. I
therefore set keyword needsUXEval.</pre>
