In the 'assign to' mail the mailtags POST_NAME and POST_USERNAME don't give the real names.
I can see why this happens.

Hello,
that could happen if the HTML code doesn't have those variables correctly formatted. Is it possible to connect to your site to run some tests?
I have made this ticket private so that only you and me can see the information posted here.
Please provide me with the following information:
Please allow up to one business day (GMT+2 timezone) for me to log in to your site and debug this issue. When I'm done I will post back. Once the issue is fixed, you can revoke my access e.g. by changing the Super Administrator and FTP passwords.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order for me to help you fast and accurately, please provide the information by copying the form below, paste it into your reply and fill in the information:
----- Access Information Form -- START -----
Super Administrator access
FTP connection information
----- Access Information Form -- END -----
Please make sure that you have tested the Super Administrator connection using a different browser or machine than the one you are using daily. Double check that logging in is possible and that the user has Super User privileges, i.e. it's not a regular Administrator. Make sure that your site does not block whole countries or IP ranges which would make it impossible for me to log in / connect by FTP. Finally, please do make sure that the FTP connection works and that logging in to it I have access to your site's files.
Kindly note that your site connection information and your site content is handled in strict confidence. Not only we are a reputable development company, we are also bound by law (EU GDPR) to do so. After you file your reply, the connection information to your site will be stored in an encrypted, hidden storage area on our site and will be automatically deleted when this ticket is closed. Finally keep in mind that the people providing support to you are the same developers who wrote the software you're using on your site.

Hello,
after reviewing the code, the problem comes from the variables that are used. In this case you do not have POSTER_* variables, but ASSIGNER_* ones, so you have to use ASSIGNER_USERNAME and ASSIGNER_NAME

This seems to be a bit strange.
If I assign a ticket to another employee, this employee still want to have the posters-name in the head of the ticket or in the content.
Otherwise you cannot see who posted the ticket.
So, the POST_NAME or POST_USERNAME is still (also) wanted in the assigner mail.
I am awaiting for your answer, because in my opinion this is not correct.
It is for sure necessary to have the POSTER_NAME and/or POSTER_USERNAME available in the assign-mail.
Also, ASSIGNER_NAME and ASSIGNER_USRENAME tags are not available in the right-colomn, in mail-edit.
Nicolas? Davide? Is it possible to reply on my ticket(s) please.

Hello,
we did check the code, and we will try to implement those variables as well.

I understand, but I have a second remark (see my previous replies on this ticket).
Still, POSTER_NAME must be available in assigner-emails. Otherwise you can never know who send the original ticket.
Or this is what you mend in your reply ? But it is something that in my opinion can't last too long to implement.
The emails sent in response to a post being made can, of course, include POSTER_NAME and other POSTER_* variables which refer to the post's owner, i.e. the person who submitted that particular post. Assigned mails get sent in response to a ticket.
The "poster" of a ticket should not be the owner of the ticket's first post as there may not be one, or it may belong to a system account or support staff member (e.g. submitting a ticket on behalf of a user, deleting the first post, changing the first post's ownership etc). So, while the first instinct is to just slap $poster = Permissions::getUser($this->getFirstPost($ticket));
and go on our merry way, that would be wrong.
