Description of "Certificate Assignment" in "New Features" promises too much

[jkrwdf]

Where to find the issue

In the CWA 2.19.0 in "Status" screen under "App Information / New Feature" I find this:

Certificate Assignment: Minor differences in the spelling of first and last names are ignored...

Describe the issue

By a very lucky coincidence, I currently have a vaccination certificate and a rapid antigen test certificate with such difference.

Assuming my name would be "Jörg Becker", both certificates are issued to this name identically.

However, in the "Standardized Name" attributes, the vaccination certificate correctly has "BECKER<<JOERG", while in the RAT test certificate, by accident the operator in the test center used a software where the real name is taken over from the "CWA Rapid Test Profile QR code", while the standardized name has to be entered manually, and this happend as "BECKER<<JORG" ("O" instead of "OE").

This certainly "minor difference" in the spelling of the first name is not detected.

Instead, I end up with two cards on the "Certificates" screen, both appearing as "Jörg Becker", which makes it confusing for the normal user.

Suggested change

Either the feature should be extended to really cover minor differences in the "parts" from which a name is made of, or the description should be changed that only "entire name parts" can be missing, or the grouping should be based on the real (non-standardized) name.

Hi @jkrwdf ,

just as a side note:

by accident the operator in the test center used a software where the real name is taken over from the "CWA Rapid Test Profile QR code", while the standardized name has to be entered manually, and this happend as "BECKER<<JORG" ("O" instead of "OE").

There is/was ongoing effort from the community to enhance the situation in the test centers by adding better functionality to TSI's RAT portal since June/July 2021:

It looked like that the subject was rather ignored, but now we can see some movement:

However, the information regarding the grouping feature could be improved like suggested by you.
