Suttaplex API doesn't always return author_name

[Snowbird]

Both of these API calls don’t return a author_name property.

Is this a bug, or is there another way I should be getting the author name? Or should I always be checking to see if there is a collaborator property and then constructing it from that?

Sorry about the slow response, I’ve been looking into some things related to this. But I have no answer. Maybe @ihongda can help

Noooo problem.

I wonder if it could be related to this:
