Expected

I would expect that my name would then be changed wherever it appears on the OSF.

Actual

The project citation in my dashboard still says Ehsan (even though the tooltip is correct):

However, the project page itself displays the correct name:

Possible Cause

Changing your name on the OSF does not automatically update your citation in the settings page:

Possible Solutions

  • Alert user that they may need to update their bibliographic citation
  • Redirect users to their profile settings page to edit their name
  • Automatically update user citation information

I like the idea of redirecting users to their profile page, since they can see the citation fields and change them if necessary.

This is still happening in the Project Organizer branch, so it's definitely upstream of the view. A quick check seems to indicate that the contributors list will need to be modified in order for the value to be changed in the node.

I'll take this one.

This will be fixed by #1465.

Closing this since users can no longer edit their names from the profile page. It is still possible to edit your name in your user settings page without changing your citation info, but now it is less likely to occur on accident.
