Ash Berlin-Taylor commented on AIRFLOW-3535: -------------------------------------------- https://github.com/dpgaspar/Flask-AppBuilder/blob/d95f0ed934272629ee44ad3241646fa7ba09cdf8/flask_appbuilder/console.py#L102 doesn't look promising :( But we could overload the meaning of one of the name colums and change templates etc. so that we just use one column? Maybe? > Airflow should collect display names, not Firstname / Lastname > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AIRFLOW-3535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-3535 > Project: Apache Airflow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: database, ui > Affects Versions: 1.10.1 > Reporter: James Meickle > Priority: Minor > > We use Google OAuth to provision our Airflow accounts. This creates "user > names" of "google_12345", with the corresponding email address. The first and > last name of the user are pulled into the corresponding Airflow fields. > In general, though, First Name / Last Name is not considered a good pattern > for user systems unless they are actually critical to handle business logic. > Further reading on problems that can cause here: > https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ > We should condense these fields into a totally freeform "Display Name", and > use that more consistently in the UI. For example, in AIRFLOW-3442, an > internal username is displayed rather than a display name. (In the case of an > audit log, the right value is probably: `Display Name (internal_name)`.) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
