Idea

I'm out of votes (can an admin give me more votes?) but +1 for this. We don't want to use Community Sift so we use cloudscript to validate our display names. It would be great to be able to set them via cloudscript too.

Was surprised myself to see this feature is not available in Playfab. A lot of links have led me to this particular request, so I would've expected to see more traction here. Here are some of the discussions, as far back as 2017, saying this feature is coming soon:

Adding a vote to this old idea. At first, I thought this service was no longer needed because we could call AdminAPI.UpdateTitleDisplayName in AzureFunctions but then I realized that CommunitySift doesn't work on Admin calls. I could implement my own profanity filter but I don't think I can implement a reliable filter, not to mention in other languages. Sure, I could just make the client call the function, but I also want to reduce the calls by charging the players with virtual currency.

This would be a useful feature for us, any word on whether it is being prioritised anytime soon?
