We have authors that are deceased or no longer working in the company that we do not want to appear in the drop down list.
We still want them in the system since old stories need to be associated with them, but inactive would only affect the Ellipsis and Anglerfish dropdown.

Checking to see if this is on a roadmap yet. Any updates? Thanks in advance
Hi all, this work is still planned but unfortunately had to be put on hold for some API updates to support this functionality. We're moving through our backlog and I hope to get this update out in the months ahead. Thank you for checking in.
Is there an update on this? Still Planned?
Hi there,
Is there an update on this Arc Idea? I see it's currently in the "Planned" status. We're hoping to not see authors set as Inactive in dropdowns when searching in the main Composer search screen, or when adding authors on an article.
SB-I-285, which is similar to this request and a newer Arc Idea, is set to "Future Consideration."
I was going to file my own separate Arc Idea about this request, but I'd like to track progress on this via this one. This is an issue we come across often, including if you create a duplicate author accidentally and set the other one as Inactive. It's unclear which one to use from the recommendations in the dropdown.
Thanks!
Troy
Thanks for raising this! I've added this to the backlog to be slotted in for work.
