Hi,
for about two weeks the Yammer welcome message for new users "[Username] has #joined the [company] network. Take a moment to welcome [firstname]." has been displaying the job_title placeholder instead of the name.
So everybody sees the welcome message as [job_title] has #joined the [company] network. Take a moment to welcome [firstname].
Our users come from local AD and the attribute that holds what Yammer calls "job_title" is named "title". In AzureAD it's called "JobTitle".
Is there a way to change the mapping of the fields or correct this in any way?
Thanks a lot.

SolutionI've just spoken with the Microsoft Yammer support. Of course this behaviour is by design.
job_title is always displayed as the first part of the welcome message.
I mentioned that this makes littles sense from a grammar perspective as (NewUser) has #joined the [company] network. Take a moment to welcome [firstname]. Is not a proper sentence.
I was then redirected to the Yammer user voice where I created a new suggestion.
Feel free to support the idea.
Thanks.
