It's not a matter of "turning off auto-populate". QBO is currently double-populating, i.e., it populates BOTH the Company field and the First/Middle/Last name fields with the same information. QBO needs to FIX auto-populate so it only populates one of these - imho the Company field would be most logical for businesses.

QBO is pushing it's AI capabilities. Can't you build some intelligence into something as simple as a vendor auto-populate?
