Custom Post type author empty

[dipesh.kakadiya]

If I created Custom post type with rest enabled [ for Gutenberg support ] and I try to created/publish custom post type then Post author is empty instead of the current user

I checked with bbPress Post type forum, For enabled rest support, refer the following code

function twentyseventeen_rest_support_bbpress() {
        global $wp_post_types;
        $forum_post_type = bbp_get_forum_post_type();
        if (isset($wp_post_types[$forum_post_type])) {
               $wp_post_types[ $forum_post_type ]->show_in_rest = true;
        }
}
add_action('init', 'twentyseventeen_rest_support_bbpress', 25);

There's a matching issue that was created in the Gutenberg repo:
​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/17073

I've closed that in favor of this ticket since the logic for setting the author seems to be handled in core (Gutenberg sends no author data).
