Description

It would be great if it were possible to allow each author to have custom fields data. In our case, we need each author to have their own copyright footer that would appear beneath their articles (and maybe even a set of copyright footers to choose from for different articles that they contribute). And we have 90,000 articles in our system, so it's quite important that this is done dynamically.

It would be great if it were possible to allow each author to have custom fields data.

This is already possible using existing hooks:
