Dear Gary, You need to make changes in two configuration files and create a new one (current dspace git master version has already what you want - dspace 4.1 doesn't, so you need it to copy it somehow): 1) Go to dspace/config/spring/api/requestitem.xml and change the following line bean

You can use dc.creator, but just note, there are several places where the author might be hardcoded to use dc.contributor.author. So, if someone wanted to make it configurable that DSpace was equally happy storing/using the author as either dc.creator or dc.contributor.author, then I'm sure many
