I was going around looking at some of my group’s clothing items when I noticed this:
Some pants I made for my group was labeled as being created by a user I’ve never met before.
And when I click on these pants the correct owner shows up:
It looks like the website is using the user’s name who has the same id as my group.

I think you accidentally hit #platform-feedback:website-features instead of #platform-feedback:website-bugs.
If an asset from the library (such as a model) is owned by a group, then it’s name under the recommended section will appear as a player’s name instead of a group name.
For example, Admin Pads is owned by the group HD Admin yet displays the owner as ugotk0d under the recommended section:
Both the group ID and user ID match, most likely meaning an asset’s owner is being incorrectly retrieved from a profile instead of a group for group assets:
This bug occurs every time and on multiple browser types. In the example I used the recommended section from the HD Admin model.
When you look at a clothing item’s page on the Catalog and it gives you a list of recommended items below it.
If any of those items are published by a group (not a direct user), it will display the incorrect name (I dont know if this is 100% of the time or based on conditions)
Here’s what I mean:
The two outlined recommended items are also shirts published by my group Black Spruce Studio, however you can see it says “by robo123445”, which is obviously wrong. A search onto that user’s profile showed me the issue here. The catalog is displaying the username of the user that has to same user id as the group id that uploaded the item. (But if you click the name, it directs you to the Group page, not that user.)
My group’s Group ID is 4071570. robo123445’s UserId is also 4071570.
