dnd5e Combat groups can reveal secret actor name

@arbron Is there a chance this could get addressed in 4.4? It just ruined an encounter with shapeshifter enemies in my campaign and working around it is very annoying for the gm as you have to completely change the actor name, changing the token names is not enough.

If the tokens in the group do not have the same name I think that using the first token's name would suffice

Edit: Also, I'm not sure how the Group's image is chosen but that might be something to consider with this as well.

I'd like to second this. I've set my monsters names to generic Duergar, but the combat groups is revealing their real names.

When this gets adjusted to using token names, can we please also get this issue done so that the system uses token images and values by default everywhere?
