Hello,
I have a problem in documents of a database on server. In the form, i have a multivalue author field calculed on creation.
A user with author access in ACL and with one of the roles defined in this field can modify documents but there’s a problem when saving documents : documents are like endly saved by this user but a part of fields modified are not really saved and they have still old values. If i create an author field wich contains the name of user, where’s not problem. Is there a bug in Lotus ?

I’m not sure I understand all your comments, but it sounds like it is not an AUTHORNAMES problem. If the user can successfully edit the document and can do any type of save, then they do have access to edit the document. The role plus the AUTHOR-level access should grant them sufficient access. Multiple values is not a problem.
A likely explanation is controlled-access sections. If that is the case, provide us more details.
Another possibility is that there is a bug in the way certain fields are defined. Either the formula does not result in a changed value or it is computed-when-composed or something similar.
Other possibilities include form level events (such as QuerySave or WebQuerySave) or whether this is a client or web application.

Thanks for your post.I’ve found the problem but i’ve don’t resolve it.
The person have author access in ACL. His name is mentionned in an author field of the document and his role is also in another author field. When this person modify and save the document, modified fields (and not really saved) becomes SUMMARY PROTECTED. Why ? I don’t know.
Subject: RE: Author field BUG ?
If I recall correctly, Summary Protected means that the field in question has been maked as Editor Update Only on the form. That means that Editors can update it, but not Authors.

But, there’s no field with this option in my form.It sounds like a bug. Maybe the following : http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=SUMMARY+PROTECTED&uid=swg21237167&loc=fr_FR&cs=utf-8&cc=fr&lang=fr+en
For your information, we have a R6.5.5 FP1 server.
