For SDK15, I found that they use ble_advdata_encode rather than ble_advertising_init

So I think you have to update each data packet seperately, which should look like:

    err_code = ble_advdata_encode(&advdata, m_adv_data.adv_data.p_data, &m_adv_data.adv_data.len);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = ble_advdata_encode(&srdata, m_adv_data.scan_rsp_data.p_data, &m_adv_data.scan_rsp_data.len);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

If you want to use a short name in the advertisement data and the full name in the scan response data, you can edit the advertising_init() function in main.c to something like this:

static void advertising_init(void)
{
    uint32_t      err_code;
    ble_advdata_t advdata;

    memset(&advdata, 0, sizeof(advdata));

    advdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_SHORT_NAME;
    advdata.short_name_len          = 6;
    advdata.flags                   = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;
    
    /* Create the scan response struct: */
    ble_advdata_t srdata;
    memset(&srdata, 0, sizeof(srdata));
    srdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    /**/

    ble_adv_modes_config_t options = {0};
    options.ble_adv_fast_enabled   = BLE_ADV_FAST_ENABLED;
    options.ble_adv_fast_interval  = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
    options.ble_adv_fast_timeout   = APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS;
    
    /* Pass the srdata struct to the init function: */
    err_code = ble_advertising_init(&advdata, &srdata, &options, on_adv_evt, NULL);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

This will use the short name in advdata and the full name in srdata. Then you need to pass both to the ble_advertising_init() function.
