Description

"author" and "assigned_to" fields included in "get issues" XML response have user full name under ambiguous "name" attribute:
<author name="Alexey Java" id="421"/>
<assigned_to name="Alexey Java" id="421"/>

can we have several separate attributes for "author" and "assigned_to" instead:
  • login
  • id
  • firstName
  • lastName
    ?

this would simplify the response parsing. I can't reconstruct firstName and lastName from this response without making a separate "getUsers()" call to the server, which seems unnecessary.
