Full Name and Shirt Name have their own length limits. Use the limit shown by the field. Changing a name field does not establish that every game screen refreshes immediately.

## Edit a personal detail

1. Find the player and open **Information**.
2. Change the field in **Personal Details**.
3. Select **Save Changes**.
4. Check the updated detail in Football Manager.

Use the search button for **City Of Birth**, the date picker for **Born**, and the lists for nationality and appearance options.

## Change a player's name

Type any name into **First Name**, **Last Name** or **Common Name**. Only this player changes, and the new name can be longer than the old one, up to 64 characters.

1. Open the player's **Information** tab.
2. Type the name. As you type, the box lists up to 8 names already in the game that start with your text.
3. Keep your own text, or take a name from the list by selecting it, or by highlighting it and pressing **Enter**. **Esc** closes the list and keeps your text.
4. Select **Save Changes**. A **Saving changes…** window can appear for a moment while FMRTE looks the name up.

Reopen the player's profile in Football Manager to check the name. The game's display may need time to refresh. You can undo the change in [Edit History](https://docs.fmrte.com/tools/edit-history.md).

**First Name** and **Last Name** can't be empty. FMRTE shows **A first or last name can't be empty.** and saves nothing. You can clear **Common Name**.

### Limits on typed names

On some setups, such as Linux, a name from the list still changes only this player, but typing a new one changes the existing name:

- The new name can't be longer than the current one. FMRTE shows **This name is too long to save here. Use one no longer than the current name.**
- If other people share the name, a prompt asks whether to rename them too. **Yes** renames all of them and **No** cancels the change.
- **Full Name** and **Shirt Name** can only be cleared. FMRTE shows **A full or shirt name can't be changed here. You can only clear it.**

## Change the primary nationality

1. Open **Information**.
2. Choose the nation in **Nationality**.
3. Review **Nationality Info** and select the status you intend to set.
4. Select **Save Changes**.

To keep the current nationality and add another, use [Other Nationality in Relationships](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/relationships.md#add-another-nationality).

Nationality does not automatically grant home-grown status, a work permit or registration. See [Registration and permits](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/registration-and-permits.md).
