How do I get the Author metadata to show up in the checklist-metadata macro?

Allan Johnstone

In 3.2 and 3.5 I was able to set the Author metadata in a page that was a subpage of a page with a checklist macro in it. If I added an "Author" column to the checklist using the checklist-metadata macro, that author information would show up. I can't get that working in 4.1 so far.

Here's my editor view in the sub-page where I set the Author metadata, which seems to be working as expected:

And here's the editor view of the checklist markup:

But sadly I cannot get this to show up in the checklist. Here's the page view of the table created by the checklist and checklist-metadata macro:

Am I marking this up incorrectly in the editor? Or is this macro broken in 4.1?

Propably I have the same problem, but I can't see your code or your implementation.

You are talking about the"Author": did you place a "Metadata Details" Macro into the child page to generate the new field "Author"?

What is working is this:

• On Child-Page you have the Metadata Details:
  

• Which leads to a table like this (on the upper summary-page):
  
  in Editor:
  

BUT: what does NOT work: to get this "Author" information into a "checklist"-summary-table.

Is this your problem? If YES - I have the same problem: you only get this information in an extra summary table.
