I am trying to configure the email template for MFA email (code). When I use any of the common variables, such as `application.name` or `application.clientId`, the substituted values are those from the “global” (tenant) client and not for the client that has initiated the login flow. Is this intended? How do I get the correct application name to show up?

Anywhere else I use these variables in email templates they behave properly. If it matters, I am using universal login with no custom pages. I am however using `custom-text`/prompts. The values populated for fields such as `${clientName}` are behaving properly, so I would expect the variables in the MFA email triggered from the same login window to have the same values (and _not_ those from the global client)

Anyone have any thoughts?

I am getting around it momentarily by hardcoding the application name. This will only work so long as I have a single app/client, which isn’t going to be for very long.
