Is an error issue already known and in progress?

About the error:

A colleague (Klaus) edited a blog draft together with a colleague (Yvonne) and published it as version 1.

Klaus created the blog draft (according to page history and page properties.

@Sebastian Spitzer that's an Atlassian Ticket that was closed because it couldn't be reproduced.

CONFCLOUD-77985  A similar ticket.

If you can replicate this, I'd suggest opening a Support ticket and see if that first one can be reopened, or if a new one should be entered, referencing that one. Someone else has seen the same behavior since it was closed.

Hope that helps.

Hi @Dan Breyen,

Thanks for the tip.

Yes, I can reproduce the error.

However, I believe it is a definition error.


In the "Blog Entries" macro, the "Author" (Publisher) is shown, not the "Creator".

However, the "Creator" label is used in the macro.

If the label were changed to "Author" (Publisher), it would be technically correct.

It is probably a political issue, what is to be expected here?

The "Author" (Publisher), i.e. the last person who edited and published the draft?

Or the "Creator" who started the draft?

I would tend to say that the "Author" should be shown there. In practice, however, a person responsible starts a draft, then a henchman does the "work" and publishes it, but the person responsible expects the information to bear his name. But perhaps it is just a matter of the order of actions. "Henchman" works out the details, manager checks and finally publishes.

Nevertheless: If the label were changed to "author", it would be technically correct.

Addition:
There is only version v.1, jointly edited draft. Dorothee was the last to edit and publish. However, this can only be recognized via the "page information" (author), not from the order of the profile pictures in the page history.

I asked via a comment in the ticket CONFCLOUD-72037 whether a new process is necessary.

I have submitted a new support request: 

Blog posts macro shows the 'Author' (Publisher) not the 'Creator' 

I have added a reference to the existing ticket CONFCLOUD-72037.
