The comment author field gets the name property from the comment. However this property only has a value if an anonymous user has entered his or her name whilst creating the comment.

Instead the field should use the getAuthorName() method on the comment entity.

Is this the same as author/submiited by not showing as a field on comment types if DS is used?

You shouldn't switch to DsFieldBase, Field does the same.

Nevermind, I told nothing.
