Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Thomas M Goerger <>]

Hi,

I've gotten these commands to all run, but it doesn't seem like the change
is being reflected in the database.  The name associated with the UUID has
changed, but not the one that the UI displays when a group membership
listing is shown.  This still shows the old name information.  Is there a
refresh that has to be done to make this happen, or do I need to change a
different attribute.

Thanks,
