Research direction

Start with the create_template() and add_author() entry points named in the issue, and trace how the office and authors arguments determine the rendered authorship. Done means SEFSC reports display SEFSC as the author while the authors argument still supplies the address, and add_author() handles a one-word author name without breaking.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement triage_needed
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Change convention of authorship when office = "SEFSC" when creating template to reflect current approach until changes to the assessment process are made

Describe the solution you would like.

When running create_template(), office argument dictates authorship for the SEFSC. The authors argument will identify which address gets placed but the author name is replaced by SEFSC.

  • make adjustment to add_author() to allow for <1 word in author name so it doesn't break
Describe alternatives you have considered

Have authors set name to "SEFSC" in authors argument in create_template
