Sap Enable Now - How to change the information of creator and editor

[hyein1]

Dear community.

I'm trying to change the name of content creator and editor but I couldn't find how to do.

If you have any ways to change it, please let me know.

Best regards.

Why would you want to do that? (It also strikes me as slightly fraudulent and your Audit people probably wouldn't like it!) If you just want a way to record (for example) 'who is responsible for' a document I'd suggest defining Custom Properties to do that.

Hi Yuki Tanaka,

this information is coming from the Windows Account with which you are logged in.

Basically no changes should be made here in order to be able to track who made which change and when. And especially who has create which content.

But if you want to make a change, you can modify the belonging entity.xml file.

1. In the Producer make a right click on your project and select Open Folder

2. Open the entity.xml with a text editor

3. Make your changes and save the file

4. In the Producer make a right click on the project and click on "Refresh Object"

This should fix your issue, but again you do this on your own risk.

After the correction, it might sense to set-up a second Windows Account with you wished name to avoid to make every time again changes.

If this answer was helpful please accept it.

Best regards, Michael

Hi Yuki,

these fields are filled in automatically and can only be adjusted if someone else changes the object (or you "hack" the entity file).

If you need to change the "author" field in the documentation, there is a way to do that. You can use the document properties macro. You can add custom properties to the documentation template and then fill in the properties in your project. This will be transferred to the word document and appear there.

Please see the Producer Manual section 9.4.3.10 Document Properties for a detailed guide.

Hope this helped, please mark the question as answered or follow up with further questions as needed.
Take care,

Kristina
