O.P. [FIXED] How to set name with personalized status?
Update: I looked further into it and it looks like it's a bug in Plus!. See the description below:

In my script I want to change the display name without removing the current personalized status. So my thought was:
- Before changing, get the personalized status part of the name
- Add it to the new name
- Change the name

For the first thing I created a function, see [Howto] Get Personalized status. That works perfectly.
The second point is easy, no problems there. But with the 3th point, something strange happens. When I change the name I see the new name with the personalized status for a very short amount of time, and then "something" (I guess MP!L) changes the name back to the new name without the new status.

Here's a screenshot of the event log where you can see it:

This is also visible in the event log of other users, so both names are sended trough the network...

So my question is, is it possible to set a name with the personalized status, and how? Because I think it's a bit weird that it's immidiatly changed back...

The same thing is happening to me. I posted about it, but thought it was a mistake from my part and deleted the thread. :P
