Hi
I have a blog where I have an author field in the blog posts:
Before, I used to enter an author as a string field. But my new feature permits to select an author, each author has its own .md file (authors/john_doe.md for example)
That’s great and now, I can select the author and since there is a twitter_url and a description in each author md file, I used it to make a nice section about the author of the blog post at the end of each post.
I had to transform every blog post like that:
author: John Do
to
author:
- John Do
to make it works
I thought everything would work fine, but now, when I use netlify-cms, every time I create a blog post or update one, it rechanges to author: John Do
So every time I create or change a blogpost, I need push a hotfix on github.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
here is my config.yml
collections:
- name: "blog"
label: "Post"

- {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
