First of all, thanks for the upgrade! Looking good. 🙂

In the _Personal Info_ section of my Settings in NextCloud, I am unable to change my _Full Name_ from my user name, into my proper first and last name. I wondered if, perhaps, NextCloud was pulling that field in from the larger, centralized OpenDesktop database. But, checking there, I saw that my first and last name are properly set.

It’s not a show-stopper, but is there a fix here?

Yes it looks like Full Name is locked to your username which is odd, I would have thought Nextcloud would have them as separate fields.
