[Halvdan Grelland <halvdanhg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Could you go to <instance>/api/dataSets and confirm that the names,
shortNames and displayNames are correct? The names displayed should be the
displayNames; which reminds me: do you have translations for the given
dataSets/current locale? If you do they will be displayed, and they will
not have been updated.

Q:
Is the problem true for all objects in the integrity checks, or just
DataSets? What about DataElements?

Q:
Also, what version are you on?

Try running ...
select * from translation where objectclass like '%DataSet%';
...and inspect the results (might be a large query if you have a lot of
dataSets).

Also find the uid of one of the affected DataSets and try to run:
select * from translation where objectuid like '<insert uid of object
here>';
.. any hints there?
