I had not used Name List (or Marriage List) because of inflexibility (not just its lack of sorting of any of the display fields). I would like various subsets of names.
Because of that, (in Name List – not Marriage List) I did not take notice of the Optional Fields ‘Born’ and ‘Died’ are compound (Birth Date/Place, Death Date/Place) and others – for example, just Birth Date – can be used. (Customise button) Which, of course, makes a more useful CSV export in which partial sorting by date is possible (or, with some minor coding, a better sorting) – and makes the Tip of the Day meaningful to me. But of course experienced users knew that already!

You still have problems with the prefixes. Cathy
