    I have a solution now. It updates instantly when the user logs in, they may also need to navigate to Shifts, but that's the most that needs to happen.

     

    For my case, where we build a schedule with a generic placeholder name and then want to change it maybe months before they log in for the 1st time, it's still awkward, as an admin has to log in to each account then reset and log the new password. But for your case it shouldn't be a problem if it works the same way for you.

     

    Good luck!

thank you, I have been looking for 24 hours how to update the name of the person in shift after having renamed them, the manipulation is indeed very simple, as soon as the user connects to shift, his name is indeed updated instantly.
