Description

Your Rocket.Chat version: (0.62.1 snap)

My settings are as follows:LDAP>User Data Field Map
{"#{company}":"customFields.company", " #{title}":"customFields.title", "#{initials}":"customFields.initials"}

When I logged in for the first time , MongoDB as follows
.... "requirePasswordChange" : false, "customFields" : { "initials" : "80088" } }

When I logged in the second time:
.... "requirePasswordChange" : false, "customFields" : { "company" : "MY Company Name", "title" : " Senior System Administrator" } }

When I logged in for the third time:
.... "requirePasswordChange" : false, "customFields" : { "initials" : "80088" } }

This seems to be going on in a regular loop, and it also causes us to show the user's field. Is anyone aware of this problem?

thanks

Research direction

Start with the LDAP > User Data Field Map setting and reproduce the behavior across three logins while inspecting the MongoDB customFields document after each login. Trace the LDAP login path that applies these mappings; done means all mapped fields persist together instead of alternating between groups.
