@iwiznia I tried reproducing this using two of my test accounts, and when I checked the title of the group that was generated in the LHN, I saw a group chat called John, John, John. It sounds like I should expect exactly that, right?

[johncschuster]

@iwiznia are you still seeing this behavior? If so, can you clarify the repro steps? I couldn't reproduce it.

lol yes that seems correct but you picked the most confusing case to test it with 😂

Yes, I am still seeing this in some reports and no I don't know how to reproduce it

😂 😂 😂 I've never been one to make it easy on myself 😅

Well, I'll ask Applause to try reproducing it.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @ishpaul777 (External)

[johncschuster]

@ishpaul777 both Applause and I have been unable to reproduce this behavior. Can you try reproducing it?

[ishpaul777]

Not reproducable, however looking at onyx data it appears report has only one participant

{
    "participants": {
        "2536717": {
            "hidden": false
        }
    }
}

Thats why this shows this title, from this condition

@johncschuster, @ishpaul777 Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[ishpaul777]
