GetProfiles FriendlyName

I am calling GetProfiles to get the profile of all my party members. The profiles come back fine, but the FriendlyName is null. Shouldn't this return the character name? Is this a policy thing?

I'd think this is not relevant to policy as when I try with a title entity token, there is also no FriendlyName. Title token should have full access to entities in this title. So I'm afraid FriendlyName is something that not implemented yet.

There seems to be no way at all to get to the character name from an EntityKey.

My workaround is save the character name in an entity Object, then I use SetObjects and GetObjects to access it.

When is it planning on being finished? I need at least DisplayName and AvatarUrl (I'm getting url fine) in my GetProfiles(), so that people in very large entity groups can at least see those two important pieces of information before they click on another player's icon and do a GetUserData() to see more relevant information. At a limit of 4 API calls/sec for a title user, getting profiles for an entity group with 1000 members will take, let's see... ...4 MINUTES.

Hello! There seems to be no change here yet. The request still does not return a name. What's the news? Or am I missing something?
