Marketplace "CreatorName" search filter collides with group of same name

I have UGC assets uploaded under my account. They can be filtered with the CreatorName=dvdko filter.
(ex. https://www.roblox.com/catalog?Category=1&CreatorName=USERNAME&salesTypeFilter=1)

I have UGC assets uploaded under my group/community that has the same name as my account’s username. They can be filtered with the CreatorName=dvdko and CreatorType=Group filters.
(ex. https://www.roblox.com/catalog?Category=1&CreatorName=USERNAME&CreatorType=Group&salesTypeFilter=1)

The problem is that when searching for UGC assets uploaded under my account by filtering with the CreatorName=dvdko filter, my group/community’s UGC assets show up as well.

Expected behavior

I expect it to show only the UGC assets uploaded under my account, which was its previous behavior. I do not expect to see my UGC assets from my group/community of the same name unless the CreatorType=Group filter is specified.

Hi dvdko, thanks for bringing this up. This is actually expected behavior. When CreatorType filter is not specified, creations from both matching user and group of that creatorName will show up. This was a recent change and we are currently working on an announcement that will go out in Q12025. In this case, it seems like you also own the group named dvdko so it shouldn’t be a big issue. If you would like to fix your links to only show your user creations, please update the links to include CreatorType=User in the query parameters.
