This looks absolutely trivial to me.
Automatic 1♥, never considering any other call. (Of course I'd bid 1♦ with one of my regulars since transfers apply.)
Kind regards,
Harald

What are the reasons to bid a four card suit now?

Unluckily, I still got zero reasons WHY all of you bid.
So I repeat my questions just in case you did not tak it serious. It was.

What are the upsides of bidding 1 Heart in this situation compared to passing with 4 card suits and bidding just 5 card suits?
Kind Regards

Get your suits in Roland. One question you should ask yourself is "What is the advantage of passing?" Pd will expect less than you have to start with and you will need to catch up later in the auction.
