Issue with club when several GT are linked to one EA account

Since the last update when Clubs came out, when I write a message in my club it’s my boyfriend’s gamer tag that shows instead of mine.

It’s not stopping us to play or anything (i encountered something similar and it was worse than this see here they listened and fixed it). In the links below someone can't play with his brother in the same club, i did not try that yet but i'm afraid it will be the same result. it’s just an issue that shouldn’t even exist and might cause some other problems in the future.

I have 2 PSN ID’s on my EA account and this is what's causing a lot of bugs like this to the few people with several GT link to one EA account. The best thing EA could do is to change their way to let us unlink and link how ever we want and also differenciate the data between the linked GT. I think it's the only company that have such an archaic way for us to manage our account.

Anyway I checked Reddit and the Ea forums and i'm not the only one in this case, see the links below. (My Reddit post)

Hi @missitalia21,

I'm afraid I haven't heard any news on this issue in particular. Do you and your boyfriend use the same PS4, or is this happening even when you're logging into separate devices?

Into several devices. It would be the same with only one device thought. I don't know what the PVZ BFN did when i had an issue similar to this on their game but they fixed it way much faster than Respawn. It's not stoping us to play so i'm patient but he would like to create his own club and he can't beacause it would also take me out of mine.
