Enable "Friendly Name" on Email tool

Please enable "Friendly Name" in the e-mail tool.

 

e.g. None <none@none.com>

 

When using this configuration, the workflow fails with error:

Error: Email (1): ComposerEmailInterface: Record#1 From Field contains 2 entries

 

"Fiendly Name" does work when sending a Workflow Event e-mail, but not in the e-mail tool.

Thank you for your idea!

How do we vote for this? Being able to send emails with our name displayed like 'John Smith' instead of 'John.Smith@place.com' would be huge! This needs more exposure.

There seems to be another similar idea out there...
Idea -- Email Tool: Allow "Display Name" option for sender...

I liked both of them. 👍👍
