I'm not seeing the same in my Companies or Projects modules.. can anyone else reproduce this one? |

Just tried it on another machine, same database, but a few weeks older. Same result. The common factor is the database, but it seems to work fine under 2.3.1.
I suppose the question is: where do users go when they're deleted???

OK. I think I know a bit more now. The "Owner" names being listed in the pull down list are the contents of the Contact's "Display Name" field and not as I would have expected and the previous behaviour: the User ID as defined in the User Admin area. Hence the several blanks (and the swapped names in one case).
Some of my staff are not represented too well in the Contacts list, having not got Display Names set. One had another staff member's name in his Display Name box, which caused the strange name swapping in the pull-down list. I know there's some integration between users and contacts, but I wasn't expecting to see "Display Names" being used as "Owner" in that menu. Is that a bug, a change in behaviour or was it always supposed to do that and it never did until now? |

Yep. That's it. The "Owner" is now the "Display Name" and not the "User ID".
I'm assuming that's intentional? If so, close this one.
My Contacts List has been updated to have the correct names for the users and if the users want to call themselves something silly in the "Display Name" field, then it shows up everywhere. That could be interesting. I don't suppose you could introduce some duplicate checking? I don't want people changing each other's display names for fun, or all calling themselves "Big Boy" or something.
Maybe having the official User Name that the Admin defines is a better idea after all... ?? |
