Co-Authors Field in Header - Hageta - 2025-05-22
Some parts may have been a collaberation between multiple people. Currently co authors could only be listed with history/help metatags or comments. Maybe there could be a optional co-authors field under the main/original author. It would list additional people that did significant work on the part.
It could look something like this:
Code:
0 Author: MainAuthor [UserName]
0 Co-Authors: Author2 [UserName], Author3 [UserName]Is this suggestion something, that is desirable?

I would prefer simply allowing multiple author lines.

Since allowing multiple author lines would require significant rewrites to the Library software, I would prefer any co-authors be listed in a history line. This ensures that the co-authorship is documented and that the co-author has a library account and has affirmed the CA.
Example:
0 !HISTORY XXXX-XX-XX [co-author] Co-authored part
