Some events do not even support filters as the Wiki describes, e.g. if there is no unitTag in the event's callback function parameters you cannot use any unitTag related event filters for it. Same counts for displayname and I think there does not even exist and event filter stuff for displaynames -> check the event filter site at the wiki. If the callback function of the event already provides a parameter like isLocalPlayer and it's true if YOU left the group, then just add the EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent... of the group_left and check in your callback function at the start if it's you who left, or others.

I understand, thanks

This is not working for me tho

function LGRI.OnAddOnLoaded(event, addonName)
    if addonName ~= LGRI.name then return end
    EM:UnregisterForEvent(LGRI.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
 
    LargeGroupRoleIcons.Initialize()
 
    EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "MyRoleChanged", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_ROLE_CHANGED, LGRI.UpdateMyRole)
    EM:AddFilterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "MyRoleChanged", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_ROLE_CHANGED, REGISTER_FILTER_UNIT_TAG, "player")
 
    EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "ILeftGroup", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_LEFT,
function(eventId, memberCharacterName, groupLeaveReason , isLocalPlayer, isLeader, memberDisplayName, actionRequiredVote)
   if not isLocalPlayer then return end
   LGRI.UpdateMyRole()
end)
end

But this is working the difference is in the AddFilterForEvent line

function LGRI.OnAddOnLoaded(event, addonName)
    if addonName ~= LGRI.name then return end
    EM:UnregisterForEvent(LGRI.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
 
    LargeGroupRoleIcons.Initialize()
 
    EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "MyRoleChanged", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_ROLE_CHANGED, LGRI.UpdateMyRole)
    EM:AddFilterForEvent(EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_ROLE_CHANGED, REGISTER_FILTER_UNIT_TAG, "player")
 
    EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "ILeftGroup", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_LEFT,
function(eventId, memberCharacterName, groupLeaveReason , isLocalPlayer, isLeader, memberDisplayName, actionRequiredVote)
   if not isLocalPlayer then return end
   LGRI.UpdateMyRole()
end)
end

And also one extra question, I want to register another event(EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED) to trigger my UpdateMyRole() function, what's the correct way?

EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "MyRoleChanged", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_ROLE_CHANGED, EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED, LGRI.UpdateMyRole)
 
or separately?
 
EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "MyRoleChanged", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_ROLE_CHANGED, LGRI.UpdateMyRole)
EM:RegisterForEvent(LGRI.name .. "MyRoleChanged", EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED, LGRI.UpdateMyRole)
