Summary: Create User dialog no longer automatically suggests username based on first and last names
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-bb6bb0ea-2dfe-446a-90aa-70da8e153b25 Improvement
Affects Versions: 16.10.2
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Administration
Created: 23/Jan/25 20:57
Environment: N/A
Labels: regression
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-minor-1e083383-86be-40a4-a5f3-5135cf4b7f74 Minor
Reporter: Rob Ostapiuk
Description:

In previous versions of the Create User dialog, the text boxes for First Name and Last Name were at the top.  After typing names into those boxes, the Username box would be populated automatically with a suggested username of FirstnameLastname.  This was extremely useful for those of us who have to manually add large numbers of users.  The new version has moved the First Name and Last Name boxes to the bottom of the dialog and you have to manually type in a username at the top, which really slows down the process.  This couldn't have happened at a worse time for us as we are about to manually add over 70 new users.  I really hope that you can restore the old Create User dialog, as it was far superior to the current one.
