  • Hey  -- any chance the "update user profile advanced" smart service could be updated to include updating of the user's Nickname (aka displayName)?  Our dev team is trying to allow this to be updated by the front-end (and/or provided by Active Directory), but so far there seems to be no functionality within Appian to do this. 

  • (I should clarify that when I say "front end", i mean procedurally such as via a related action or some other, not by the OOB name details editor -- since all other user details will be provided via Active Directory for almost all of our users, we had to lock down this capability, and there is currently no way to lock these out without also locking out the Nickname update field.)
