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!
