Change Last Name to not required in Leads

Change Last Name to not required in Leads

I would like to upload 500 target companies as leads but I don't yet have contact people for them.  Can you enable the option for me to turn this requirement off to need a Second Name?

Alert
Update (February 2026):
Our developers are working on more flexibility: choose First Name, Last Name, or both to match your preferences/regional needs (with at least one required for new records). This impacts many CRM areas, so it's complex. We'll update here once development kicks off after reviewing all use cases.
Thanks for your patience and votes!
