The NRSV in Mt.27:17 has the name "Jesus Barabbas"
The footnote tells me that the manuscripts have both "Jesus Barabbas" and "Barabbas" alone.
However, the fact book under both Lemmas and Referred to As do not show the "Jesus Barabbas" option although the displayed text (NRSV) does. This is the oddity caused by tagged a Greek edition then applying it to the NRSV which uses a slightly different Greek edition, if I understand correctly.
However, even the header lacks the alternative name "Jesus Barabbas" leaving a newbie puzzled as to the highlighting/Bible text out of sync with "all" Factbook information.

I would expect to see Jesus Barabbas in the "Lemma" and "Referred to As" sections, if I look at it from a user perspective. At a minimum, I would expect the alternative Jesus Barabbas in header, if I look at it from an IT perspective.

I would expect to see Jesus Barabbas in the "Lemma"

Me too. This appears to be a tagging error; the instance of Ἰησοῦν in SBLGNT is mistakenly tagged as Jesus. Once that's fixed, I think it should show up under Lemmas.

and "Referred to As" sections

The "Referred to as" section comes from a Faithlife data set, not your preferred RI translation. (Not saying that's what you should expect as a user, but just how the data is generated.)

Thanks, Bradley. I always find it useful to know the source of the data. It makes it easier to understand what I see.
