Feature Request: Adding a name field to your Help Center ticket form

Feature Request:
Adding a name field to your Help Center ticket form
Description:
We've seen multiple people struggling with the fact there isn't a out-of-the-box way to display the name field in the ticket form.
The current problem with email addresses is they often don't contain the full name at all, sometimes it's even worse when your organisation is dealing with consumers because they often use nicknames in the email addresses. Now this means agents have to update the users which submit a ticket via the webform on the Help Center.
Use Case:
We have many customers that submit tickets without putting in their name. At that point, it simply adds another step to get their name.
Reason for Posting:
I know that I can accomplish this by using the tip I posted. But, I really believe that this is something that should be simple and easy in the Admin menu to do.
I really don’t believe that a Zendesk Admin should have to learn web design to implement this.
That is why I have posted it as a feature request. There should be no need for a workaround for this simple feature.

Bizarre that this isn't yet possible. There's already a ‘Name’ field in the chatbot widget – why can't we utilise that in the ticket form? Zendesk is a customer communication platform, right? I'm struggling to understand why it should be such an effort to gather our customers' names so that we can communicate with them.

Are there any known workarounds that do not require webhooks?
I am surprised this sounds like has been an ongoing issue with Zendesk for 10 years. (https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4409515211162?per_page=30&page=2#comments)
I currently use a custom field, but it requires manually entering this into the end user's contact. Then it can get messy with potentially needing to merge contacts. Would love any recommendations here!

Thank you for posting this as I have the same issue. I am not able to access the work around documentation posted here as I get a "Permission Denied" message. Can anyone help me find documentation to do this work around?

I agree. It's bizarre that something as basic as the requester name isn't an available built-in field, and that there isn't a simple way to have this included as the name in the end user account that is created when a new user submits a ticket.
