Cant get player display name in LoginWithServerCustomId api

Hello everyone,

It seems like we've encountered a bug. When attempting to call the LoginWithServerCustomId API with the ShowDisplayName parameter (doc), it doesn't return the expected result. However, when I utilize the GetPlayerProfile parameter, the display name is returned correctly.

Here is my request

 curl --location 'https://{
                 {titleId}}.playfabapi.com/server/LoginWithServerCustomId?sdk=PostmanCollection-0.175.230306' \
 --header 'X-PlayFabSDK: PostmanCollection-0.175.230306' \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --header 'X-SecretKey: {
                 {secret key}}' \
 --data '{
   "ServerCustomId": "whatever_name",
   "CreateAccount": false,
   "InfoRequestParameters": {
     "GetPlayerProfile": true,
     "ProfileConstraints": {
         "ShowDisplayName": true
     }
   }
 }'

The "GetPlayerProfile" parameter controls whether to obtain the player profile, when it set to true, then you can use the "ProfileConstraints" parameter to specify the properties returned from the player profile. Also, if you just want to get the player's display name, you can just use the "GetPlayerProfile" parameter, since the display name is one of the player profiles returned by default, even if you don't specify "ShowDisplayName" as true in the "ProfileConstraints" parameter.
