Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing open and closed issues.

Description

Attempting to set a source or destination name requirement to a trigger or as a condition for a Battle.net Whisper does not work.

If the battle.net sender is GenericBT#111111
print(aura_env.state.sourceName) or %1.Sourcename shows the correct name "GenericBT" but you can't match it with Source Name in a trigger or condition, even attempting to match aura_env.state.sourceName to it fails(this works in normal purple whispers).

aura_env.state.sourceName == "GenericBT" will not match
