nrf_ble_scan_filter with automatic connection and multiple filters. How do I get the device name when a filter matches and there is an automatic connection?

I'm using nrf_ble_scan_filter with automatic connection and multiple filters and it is working just fine.  When the automatic connection is made,  is there a way to get the device name when a filter matches?

Hi Bill,

you would need to edit nrf_ble_scan.c 

in nrf_ble_scan_on_adv_report->nrf_ble_scan_connect_with_target you have p_adv_report from which you can extract the name using the static function adv_short_name_compare to extract the device short name.
