Hi All,I am using Alloy Editor for message boards in liferay7. And when I tried to mention any user from Alloy Editor like as the below screen, The screen Name is getting populated in Alloy Editor. But instead of screen Name, I want to display the Full Name of the user. Could you please tell me how to achieve this?

Hi,

You need to have a Custom EditorContributor for Message Board , you can refer below for that

https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017882652-Modifying-an-Editor-s-Configuration

Also you can refer below BaseMentionsEditorConfigContributor ,which is being used and change the screenname to fullname in that
