Description
When a user requests an approval the request states which user or group will recieve the request.
"Kann genehmigt werden durch"
In my Nextcloud the User accounts are managed via authentic and for security reasons the accounts are hashed (i.e.
7449d0b4210b296c471471855b...) but the display names shows the correct name of the user or group.
Almost all outputs in Nextcloud use the display name and not the account name, it would be nice if Approval could do this as well.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the approval request text is assembled in the Nextcloud Approval app and where the target user or group is rendered. Reproduce the request with an account whose account name differs from its display name, then verify that the visible approval text uses the display name for both users and groups.
