Temporarily adds Also Known As (AKA) Alternate Names, Nicknames, Given Names, Surname Prefixes, etc, to the Primary Name for inclusion in Reports that do not support such names.
However, few of the latest Reports need this adjustment as most Name adornments can be included using the Options.
The (aka: Names List) can be added before or after the Primary Surname and later automatically removed.
Optionally, the fully adorned Primary Name and/or any social Title Attribute may be included.

Alternatively, an Also Known As Custom Attribute can hold the Names List for inclusion in Reports.

NOTE: Running this Plugin will alter the Updated Dates for all modified Individual Records that have any AKA Names. To avoid this, either use Edit > Undo Plugin Updates after creating Reports, or disable Autosave and do NOT Save the file. Using the Plugin option to remove the AKA Names will NOT reset the Updated Dates.

For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.
