To add a field to change an item's Lead Author/Owner:

You can add a menu to the Authoring Wizard Properties step that enables authors to select a different Lead Author or Owner for an item. The item will display in the new owner's Workspace under My Documents.

  1. On the administration page of the content type you are configuring, click Edit in the Fields area. The Form Console displays.

  2. Right-click inside the last row of the table and select Insert Row.

  3. Click Select in the Form Console. The Select Menu Properties dialog appears.

  4. In the Label field, enter the term, Owner. You must use the label Owner for a menu that is dynamically built on a list of authors. If you enter a different label, the resulting menu will not work and selected options will not be retained.

  5. Press Tab to auto-populate the Name field.

  6. Select the Required option.

  7. Select the Dynamically build menu options based on : [A list of authors] option.

  8. Click OK.
