Avatar for user is not working

When passing down messages based on Message Object defined in the documentation, avatar cannot be set for user. The same message object works fine for bot avatar, but I’d like to be able to add an avatar also for the user.

Example bot message object:

{
  _id: generateMessageID(),
  text: talk.response,
  createdAt: new Date(),
  user: {
    _id: 2,
    name: botName,
    avatar: botAvatar
  },
  metadata: talk,
}

Example bot message object:

{
  _id: generateMessageID(),
  text: data.response_text,
  createdAt: new Date(),
  user: {
    _id: 1,
    name: userName,
    avatar: userAvatar
  },
  metadata: data
}

Scratch that ^ I think you’re right that this is just a bug. It makes intuitive sense that if you provide an avatar for the current user, it should be rendered.
