In my Drupal instance I have mapped a Case Node to a the Case object in Salesforce. I have mapped the fields that are relevant to my project. All fields seem to show up correctly in Salesforce except that the Contact Name is empty.
Things I've ruled out:
Salesforce permissions - I've confirmed that I can create contacts.
Salesforce connection - Cases are making it there fine
Things I'm testing now:
Clearing out all users, doing a fresh import from salesforce, the try creating a case.
I do have a fieldmap for Drupal users to Salesforce Contacts but I only use it for the import. I do not push contacts to Salesforce, I only receive them.
Any help on why the Contact Name field is not being populated is much appreciated.

Contact Name is likely not
Contact Name is likely not plain text, but requires a Salesforce ID for the relevant contact.
Got it!
Thanks for the tip. That was the problem. I created a new field in the Case content type to contain the Contact id for salesforce. I used the default value php field to pull in the profile value $user->salesforce->sfid. Lastly, included the new field in the field map. Now contact Id's are showing up. Fantastic.
