Please add API Players:GetDisplayNameFromUserIdAsync (int userId)

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to remotely retrieve the display name of a Roblox user. While I can get their username, I cannot retrieve a display name.

Please add Players:GetDisplayNameFromUserIdAsync(int userId)

I wish I could make this execute using display name instead

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because I would be able to widely adopt display names across async functions of my code base. Right now I have to flash display names to datastore which may result in inproperly filtered text (for example, a user is banned for display name), or I need to provide my own gateway.

Have you considered using GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync?
