I am playing a custom FM26 database and tried to change a player name and it worked fine, but the second time I tried it, I ran into a couple of issues.
Name changes do not seem to be individual - for instance, if I try to change the first name "James" I get a message asking if I want to change all players named "James", rather than just the single one I am editing.
Name changes seem to need the same number of characters - for instance, if I try to rename "James" to "Jim" it will actually be "Jim " with two spaces at the end, if I try to rename "Jim" to "James" It won't let me because I am adding extra characters.
The player I did rename successfully appears fine in game with the new name (it was a Japanese player and I guess it's possible the first and second names were unique?), but when I check in the editor I can see the extra spaces after the surname (as it is a shorter second name), and if I use Genie Scout, this is more visible due to the formatting, so it shows as "xxxx , xxxxx" (surname, spaces, comma, first name). I've noticed that the surname also shows up with spaces after it during match commentary.
[1]What is your exact FM version: 26.1.0.2245540 (m.e v26.1.0.0)
[2]What is your exact FMRTE version: FMRTE26.1.1-build 27 (issue found on build 26 and still happening with build 27)
[3]Are you running FMRTE as administrator: YES
[4]Do you have a current license: Yes. Bought directly via this site.
