forum Interesting thing about contributors and linked content

So it seems as though you can't add a contributor's content as an entry to a field that requests a linked page.

For instance, three friends and I are working on a story together. I created a group that represents our four main protagonists, one for each of us. I can add my own character to this group (under the "Leaders" field in the "Hierarchy" tab for Groups pages), but I can't add the characters of my co-contributors (under the "Members" field) even though we can all edit each other's pages freely.

Is this a programming oversight or is it actually possible for me to add the characters of other contributors as members of my group and I'm just not seeing how to do that?

Hey, this is (was) 100% a programming oversight. Collaboration is a relatively new feature that still sees the occasional weirdness, so I appreciate you pointing this out.

I'm pushing up a fix now that should include contributors' content in dropdown links. Whenever you get a chance, can you double check that everything now looks good to you (that you can see your friends' characters under "Members", etc)? Happy to dig in further if anything else looks wonky.

Happy worldbuilding! :)

Oh wow, it worked. Thanks so much for the quick fix! :D
