Description
It is related to https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/6094
Steps to reproduce
- Bob shares a folder A with Alice
- Alice creates a folder B inside A and shares it with Max
Expected behaviour
Max should see "Shared by Alice" in the folder B info
Actual behaviour
Max sees "Shared by Bob" in the folder B info
Well it actually created problems for me :
I am Alice, my associate Bob created a "master" shared folder for everything happening in our company. I created a sub-folder shared with my client, Max, that does not know Bob...
And Max is complaining : "Who the hell is this Bob that shares stuff with me ?!"
