Username is not remembered

[tellapu]

On Ubuntu 19.10 (and previous versions) with openconnect 8.02-1build1, network-manager-openconnect and network-manager-openconnect-gnome 1.2.4-2ubuntu1 and libopenconnect5 8.02-1build1:
The username is not saved although "save passwords" is chosen.
When I connect to a Cisco AnyConnect VPN profile from the Network Manager it shows the connect to VPN dialog window, the password was saved and is automatically added to the field (from a previous connection) but the username has to be added every time the VPN is started.
Is this a bug or just the way it is?
Can this be changed?
If yes, how?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Great the bug is confirmed, hopefully importance will be increased and somebody can help fix it!

This bug could be related to this bug for the network-manager package:

And there is a thread on Gitlab:

And a workaround:

The workaround is not working when protocol is gp (GlobalProtect).
