This is not a deploy blocker cc @grgia or @chiragsalian I assume this is expected now as that is the reportName of the parent report.

I agree, pretty sure this is expected behavior

[chiragsalian]

Yup, its expected behavior for now, i.e., from non-policy chat thread it shows From <the rootmost report name>. Closing issue. We will probably update this in time but for now its the design that we've chosen to go ahead with.
