Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

When creating a group chat, some members appear as hidden.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Many times when we call the searchForReports API to get personalDetail information, we are missing displayName field

and when there is no displayName it will show as a Hidden via the getDisplayNameOrDefault function here

App/src/pages/ReportParticipantsPage.tsx

Line 136 in aa6401d

text: formatPhoneNumber(PersonalDetailsUtils.getDisplayNameOrDefault(details)),

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should add the default value is details?.login to the function getDisplayNameOrDefault to cover case missing displayName

       text: formatPhoneNumber(PersonalDetailsUtils.getDisplayNameOrDefault(details, details?.login))

App/src/pages/ReportParticipantsPage.tsx

Line 136 in aa6401d

text: formatPhoneNumber(PersonalDetailsUtils.getDisplayNameOrDefault(details)),

We can do the same with other places

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA
