Transaction.SetUser not working properly when populating username

[csong (Ci Song)]

Hi,
I am using Elastic APM Java agent api. When I am calling transaction.setUser(userId, userEmail, userName) in my method, userId and email are properly showing in kibana. However, username is always shown as N/A and I am pretty sure it is a valid username string when calling the setUser method.

Here's the code:

void function(userId, userName, email) {
Transaction transaction = ElasticApm.currentTransaction();
transaction.setUser(userId, email, userName);
}

Any ideas why username is not populated ?

Thank you

It will be released soon.
Can you build the agent from source in the meantime?

Clone the repo and execute
./mvnw clean package -DskipTests=true

The agent jar is in the folder elastic-apm-agent/target
