Clone names no longer appear in the 'character clones' endpoint.

[evanova]

Bug

While the swagger schema specifies it, the character clone endpoint no longer returns clone names. I cannot tell exactly when they stopped appearing unfortunately.

"name": {
        "description": "name string",
        "title": "get_characters_character_id_clones_name",
        "type": "string"
      }

Note that "name" is not included n the list of required fields for this endpoint:

"required": [
      "jump_clone_id",
      "location_id",
      "location_type",
      "implants"
    ]

Request

GET https://esi.evetech.net/latest/characters/XXXXXXX/clones/?datasource=tranquility

As of writing, it also happens on v3 and v4 versions of the endpoint.

Body

(truncated to show only one clone)

{
  "home_location": {
    "location_id": "XXXX",
    "location_type": "station"
  },
  "jump_clones": [
    {
      "implants": [
        27117,
        27127
      ],
      "jump_clone_id": "XXXX",
      "location_id": "XXXX",
      "location_type": "station"
    }
  ],

}

Expected

The clone name is expected to be present in the JSON body for each clone (at least when they have one in-game).

{
  "home_location": {
    "location_id": "XXXX",
    "location_type": "station"
  },
  "jump_clones": [
    {
      "implants": [
        27117,
        27127
      ],
      "jump_clone_id": "XXXX",
      "location_id": "XXXX",
      "location_type": "station",
      "name": "Not A Tea Pot"
    }
  ],
  "last_clone_jump_date": "2021-11-28T21:36:51Z",
  "last_station_change_date": "2019-05-10T20:40:25Z"
}

I run into this bug today and can confirm that it is still unresolved. It would very much appreciated if this could be fixed.

It would be nice if this trivial issue would get some attention. It's been only 3 years now.
