The implementation under ticket VHM-314 addresses the requirement to modify user entity display names within the system. The feature is a critical Quality of Life improvement that has been highly requested by the user base. Overall, the execution is functional and meets the primary acceptance criteria, though there are minor UI/UX considerations that should be addressed before full deployment. Vhm-314 Change Name
She thought of her mother’s lullaby. The line that never made sense until now: “A name is not a word you answer to. A name is the world you carry inside.”
