Dear AppSheet Team,
When I put username () in expression, why is the email of the user returned instead of his username? Is this a bug ? Its like a duplicate of Useremail () .I tried to look into my Gmail setting but my name is there too.
For some accounts, the username is not avaialble to us (it depends on whether or not you have enabled your Google+ profile). This is why we generlaly recommend that you use USEREMAIL()
(always available) rather than USERNAME()
@praveen Thank you for this info! I cannot find where to enable the google+ profile! That is worth documenting I think. Because we often don’t want to reveal others’ email address.
Open the gmail from the browser or what ever tool from your account. Click your image icon (upper right corner) > Choose “My Account” > Personal Info & Privacy > Your personal info > Add/Change your name
It does not work for me. You see my Google+ username has changed from Jerry Lan to Jerry Lan Hing Leung but still in the app my email is chosen over my username. I have not share the app to users yet as still prototype. I suspect other users their username will appear correctly. @Aleksi_Alkio @praveen
Wait a little… normally it takes some time before it will update the name.
