The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I'm trying to figure out the right mix of fields and rewriting here in order to display the authors of a particular publication through views, but then also link to each author's "author" page.
However, there seems to be no way to rewrite author/authorID fields in a way that would let me do this.

liquidcms commentedyes, i think a couple issues with the views field handler for Authors:
- does not use same link formatting as citation does; i.e. authors are not linked
- disabling label has no impact, "Authors" shows up all the time regardless of setting
- also, if you do enable label and set it to something; the field still uses Authors as an inline label
this was for 1.x-rc7, i'll check out -dev to see if fixed there.

liquidcms commentedahh.. my bad.. my admin theme was hiding some of the field settings. i see there is a custom label setting for Authors which allows disabling inline label.
still no way to link user's as far as i can tell.. field render should likely be using the theme_biblio_author_link() function.
