Anything changed in Expensify API?

Sergio_Scola

After five years successfully using Expensify API we are experiencing what follows (template.ftl)

report.submitter.firstName is OK

report.submitter.lastName is always empty

report.submitter.fullName is equal to report.submitter.firstName

Any clue? Thank you.

I'm having the same issue. It started between 10-04-2023 and 10-11-2023.

Same for me. It has broken the integration with our accounting system. Is there some other way to find last names now?

I tried using the "Concierge" help, but was told that the API is working correctly and that they cannot help me troubleshoot issues.

It is not. Even if I simplify the request to retrieve a single report with only those three fields, this is what I get:

"submitterFirstName" : "Anthony",

"submitterLastName" : "",

"submitterFullName" : "Anthony",

It seems like the break corresponds to the same timeframe that some "New Expensify" updates were rolled out. So I wonder if it is related to that.
