Bug description

When I change a group name via the Nextcloud interface, the change is not reflected in the API.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Login to Nextcloud
  2. Change group name from Team&1 to Team-1.
  3. API CALL: curl -u username:password -X GET 'https://cloud.example.com/ocs/v1.php/cloud/groups' -H "OCS-APIRequest: true"
Expected behavior

I expect that the changed group name will also be displayed when the changed group name is called via the API. The old group name is currently displayed from the API Call.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the OCS groups API endpoint shown in the report after renaming a group from Team&1 to Team-1. Trace the server entry point handling GET /ocs/v1.php/cloud/groups and compare the API result with the changed group name; done means the API returns Team-1 rather than the old name.
