Pass QueueName from Matchmaking into GSDK

The MatchId is passed from Matchmaking into the GSDK using the "sessionId" configuration variable but in order to retrieve the ticket details using GetMatch, you also need the QueueName. If using the same build for multiple queues (casual/ranked, 1v1/2v2), this becomes a problem.

Since you already have a "sessionCookie" configuration variable that is unused during matchmaking, this would be a great way to pass in the QueueName so that the server can use GetMatch to successfully retrieve the ticket information. This is vital for making sure players are placed on the team as assigned by the matchmaker.

Why is this still not an option? Would like to hear any thoughts from the playfab team regarding this issue.

Absolutely massive miss.

Even the documentation says you can call GetMatch from server, but how? You don't have the QueueName...

I think the main reason why they "can't" pass it into the session cookie is because they use it for multiplayer server requests. I personally feel you should be able to call GetMatch only with your sessionId, as - especially for starting games - it's impossible to create different builds for each and every queue if you got multiple gamemodes that you want to support through a single queue.
