User Registration Update User Does not update Display Name

  1. I have a User Profile Update form that is linked to the User Registration Update User feed. However, when a user changes their first or last name, the user display_name is not updated to show their name changes. For example, if the original names were first name: Billy and last name: Bob and the display name was "Billy Bob" and the user changes the first name to Charles, the display_name remains "Billy Bob".

    The User Settings Display Name field is set to {first name} {last name} in the feed settings. Do I need to add a hook after form submission to get the display_name updated?

  2. I will bring this to the attention of the development team and see if there is something we need to handle or if there is a hook to update the display name.

  3. Update: I added code to hook into the after_submission hook as a work around. I just thought the user update feed should handle it.

  5. We've added it to our todo list. The way you've handled it right now is how it needed to be done. Thank you.
