Edit the author of a content
As an admin, can we change/set the author of content ( documents, articles, discussions ) ?
The reason for this is that we have content whose author is empty/ anonymous and would like to set them to certain author names.

kavithams- Yes, you can update the author using API V1 edit call.
Pass message.author with the valid author login.
Here is the documentation https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=commv1&leaf-id=Message.edit#Message.edit
Hi TariqHussain
Thank you for your answer. We tried it out, but it is only editing the last_updated_author. We need the original author to be changed. Kindly help with the same.
kavithams - After testing, I found the same behavior. The only last edit author is being edited using edit call. I don't think we can update the original author using REST API.
The only alternative way I can think right now is to re-post the same message with the correct author login. However, the post_time will be changed.
