What happened?

While writing a guide to using the API I found an inconsistency with the User object returned from the /api/me endpoint.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected displayTitle and displaySubtitle info to be included with the User object from /api/me

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Hit /api/me endpoint
  2. Compare to /api/users/userID endpoint
