Mathias,

Thanks for your response. For some reason it got lost in my spam folder,
and I just now found it; hence my delay in responding.

I can't tell from the link you gave me or the release notes for the 2.0
Beta if this enhancement has been implemented yet. Do you know if it has?

I thought of the People1, People2, etc. option (I assume you mean one name
per People1, People2, etc.), but I have at last count 15 people, and that
set could grow as the project grows. Adding the new names to the single
People list is easy, but adding more a more meta data fields is a little
cumbersome. Also, I can make the People metadata mandatory, but not
People1, People2, etc.

Thanks!

Mark
