The story of type “name\_changed” should have 2 fields, “old\_name” and “new\_name”.

I just test it, using the opt\_fields parameter, and they are not returned.

In my test, when I ask these 2 values, I get “null” for all story, in the “new\_name” attribute, even in the one that is “name\_changed”.

And I never get any old\_name.
