Do you mean in an existing connector or in a connector that you are going to make yourself.

    In general, but at the moment for my jira connector.
    
    There are some problems with PersonProposalProvider that I would
    like to address.
    
    The one that is affecting me the most at the moment is
    'matchesSubstring()' which is doing  'startsWith()' instead of
    'contains()'
    
    Other problems that I'm able to work around, but is ugly, is the
    assumption that the 'id' is has human attributes associated with it.
    This is fine when the id is an account which, most/some of the time,
    can be directly associated with a person, but with
    Jira Cloud the id is a random string of characters, and offering
    them as an select option is meaningless.
    'getPrettyName()' also suffers from this assumption.
    
    Thanks
