Hi @joseuo94 , not able to reproduce this issue. Could you share some details of the scenarios where it fails.

I was the one who reported this via support to cal.com so I can add the repro steps here:

1. Create an event type
2. Go to Advanced > Under "Booking Questions" > Click "Edit" on the "Your name" field
3. Toggle On the 'Split "Full name" into "First name" and "Last name"' field: (Notice that on the separate fields, the top right indicates that the variable should be name.firstName and name.lastName)
4. At this point, if an event is booked and the "With event name" field is set to include the {name} variable, it will show up as "[Object object]" anywhere the event name is displayed. ⚠️ Fix: the name property type should be checked for object vs string and output as `${name.firstName} ${name.lastName}`
5. If you attempt to use the suggested name.firstName variable in the name, you are presented with an error and will be unable to save the form: ⚠️ Fix: allow object properties to be used as replacement values in client-side validation if name is split"
6. I went a step further and submitted the event updates via a curl request to skip the client-side validation which accepted the change, however the replacement does not work. ⚠️ Fix: update server side to correctly evaluate the template when a value is accessed by object dot notation.
