Research direction
No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the scenario-outline name rendering and the existing handling of template parameters, then compare it with the expected names shown here. Done means generated scenario names replace each outline parameter with the corresponding Examples value, with coverage for multiple example rows.

Description
What are you trying to achieve?
When using cucumber's scenario outlines, it's much easier to review your tests results when they don't all have the same name.
So cucumber supports converting the following
Scenario Outline: eating
Given there are <start> cucumbers
When I eat <eat> cucumbers
Then I should have <left> cucumbers
Examples:
| start | eat | left |
| 12 | 5 | 7 |
| 20 | 5 | 15 |
to instead look like
Scenario Outline: Having <start> cucumbers, and eating <eat> leaves <left>
Given there are <start> cucumbers
When I eat <eat> cucumbers
Then I should have <left> cucumbers
Examples:
| start | eat | left |
| 12 | 5 | 7 |
| 20 | 5 | 15 |
It was done here https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js/issues/267
The 2nd version of this test would produce scenarios with the following names:
- Having 12 cucumbers, and eating 5 leaves 7
- Having 20 cucumbers, and eating 5 leaves 15
What do you get instead?
Instead, it appears the template parameters are not resolved when printing the scenario name when the feature is run
Provide console output if related. Use
--verbosemode for more details.
In my case my scenario name isUser <userType> <id> should have correct credentails.
and I get
User <userType> <id> should have correct credentails. {"userType":"\"issuer_rep\"","id":"10","homePage":"\"landing/info\""}
