How to display a custom field User Picker in confluence Jira Macro and display the Full Name instead of the UserName?

Question

In Confluence, I insert a JIRA Macro and select to display a custom field that is a user Picker.

Currently Confluence just displays the JIRA username and I would prefer the full Name as I can get if I ask confluence to display the Reporter field for example.

I found this issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-31023

I voted for it and I suggest to do the same.

Looks like this issue has been logged with Atlassian, but no movement has been made to fix/improve it.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-18505

According to them, it's blocked by https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-20361 which they've decided not to implement.

Frustrating as it takes away from the value of the JIRA Macro on the Confluence end...

I experience the same for one of our customers using Confluence 5.4.4 in combination with JIRA 6.1.
