• Personal Information
• Business Rule

Create a business rule as below. 

It could be configured as onChange rule under Manage Business Configuration<personalInfo<last-name field.

Base object of the rule could be:

• Employee Information Model, which could be triggered for new hire process only
• Personal Information Model, which could be triggered for both new hire and existing employee.

The variable is used to obtain the index of the space, as there is no built-in function to directly identify space.
