Developer Context
The post says role assignment is slow because search needs the full exact username, and display name matching did not work for the author. The author also asked for sort filters to save time when managing role lists. As of 2026-03-28, the thread snapshot shows one post and one participant, so this looks like an early-stage request, not a rollout note.
Why You Should Care
- On 2026-03-28, a feature request for Roblox Communities on the Roblox platform asked for easier member search when assigning roles.
- Main ask: let partial username search and display name search work, so mods do not need the full exact username every time.
- Also requested: role member sort filters like "Newest member" and "Oldest member" to save time.
- 2026-03-28 - Requested search change: typing part of a username (example: "@yes") should find matching users (example: "@yes123"), instead of needing the full name.
- 2026-03-28 - Requested display name support: search should match both username and display name while assigning roles.
- 2026-03-28 - Requested role sorting: community role member lists should have sort options for newest joiners and oldest joiners.
- 2026-03-28 - Status: this is a community request thread, not a confirmed shipped platform update yet.
