Add "Published by" dropdown on article edition page
It would be great to have a dropdown of "Published by" setting, just like "Created by".

Setting the published by field is actually a bit more difficult. When updating it's using the modResource update processor from the core. It doesn't allow to set the publishedby
field "manually".
@JoshuaLuckers Hi and sorry for my late reply, I didn't see the notification. All right I see that’s too bad. I can always change the author directly from the database, I just have to be careful not to break anything 😅
Did you have a look at the issue 134 by any chance ?
@carlo-13 no problem, it's indeed to bad, but I don't want to overrule anything the core does.
I also looked at issue #134 but fixing that isn't as easy as it looks either since that part is handled by another extra 😅
Is it TagLister ?

Hi @JoshuaLuckers , sorry for my late reply.
I’m not a developer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help 😬. Do you think this is something you could fix, I’m willing to financially participate if needed ( but I need to know how much/long this could take ). If you don’t have time or are not interested (perfectly fine with me), would it be ok if I bring another developer to fix the issue?
Let me know.
Tks a lot.
