Different group name if searching or viewing members

[robake1]

Describe the bug
Groupname shown when searching for new members should be the same as the list of members, this happens on groups in Nextcloud that has different GroupID and DisplayName for example when the group is created by the Workspace app.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (when having a group with different GroupID and DisplayName as shown in OCC command under screenshots) :

1. Add member to a collective
2. Search for a group , note the name shown (DisplayName attribute in Nextcloud)
3. Add group from above
4. See the members in the collective and note that the name of the added group is not correct (it shows groupID attribute from Nextcloud)

Expected behavior
To see the same attribute (Displayname) of the group in both the search field and the members field of the collective.

Screenshots
Screenshot when searching group "U-Test Editors" :

Screenshot when viewing members it show "SPACE-U-3" (GroupID) :

OCC command group:info showing difference on GroupID and DisplayName :

sudo -u wwwrun php occ group:info SPACE-U-3

• groupID: SPACE-U-3
• displayName: U-Test Edtitors
• backends:

Hi @mejo- is there any update or timeplan for a fix for this ?

We are eagerly waiting for a solution for this :)

Thanks.

This should be finally fixed by nextcloud/circles#1682.

You'll have to run occ circles:maintenance --level=5 --force-refresh in order to update the displayname of existing users/gorups.

So this is fixed by Circles app ? , I will give it a try but is it the current Release of Nextcloud 29 / Circles or the next one ?

@robake1: exactly, it's fixed in the circles app. The fix will ship with the new Nextcloud 30.0.0 release, to be published next Saturday. Unfortunately the fix didn't land in the upcoming Nextcloud 29.0.7 release that will get published on Thursday. With Nextcloud 29, you'll have to wait for 29.0.8, which will get released in about a month.

If you're eager to test, you can apply the patch directly to the circles app (in your apps/circles folder): https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/nextcloud/circles/pull/1682.patch

Beware that the fix is only effective for users that get their display name changed after the fix got applied. For all other users you'll have to run occ circles:maintenance --level=5 --force-refresh again once after applying the fix.

Update after trying Nextcloud 29.0.8 and the newest Circles app , and the newest version of Workspace 2.14.4 (also downgraded to 2.14.3 for test) to date .
Also tried the patch and the OCC for refresh as sugessted above, but still the same problem.

@mejo- can you reopen the issue ?

I am attaching three screenshots to highlight the problem.

Searching for the group "U-Test 4 Bosse" :

Members after adding the group "U-Test 4 Bosse" above shows name "SPACE-U-10" instead om members of Collectives :

We noted that the same problem with groupname is also in the Circles app :

Unfortunately the patch didn't make it into Nextcloud 29.0.8 either, but it is merged now and will be shipped along with Nextcloud 29.0.9. Could you please upgrade once this got released, run the occ command from above afterwards and report if you still run into the same problem afterwards?

Sadly it´s the same problem in Nextcloud 29.0.9 , Circles: 29.0.0-dev (integrated in Nextcloud release ?) , Collectives: 2.15.0 .

Also tried apply the patch wich did not work (expected since newer version of file ?) and also did the OCC refresh command.

Any more ideas to get it working @mejo- ? :)
