>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3037567. --> Reported by: [josecastrop](https://www.drupal.org/user/3506920) >>> <p>laminas-feed only parses <code>&lt;author&gt;</code> fields that contain an email address or conform to the format <code>&lt;author&gt;email@example.com (author name)&lt;/author&gt;</code>. Arbitrary data not conforming to that format is discarded. Aggregator only uses the author name portion of the field, ignoring the email address. So even if there is an email address with no name, we treat that as being empty.</p> <h2>Remaining Tasks</h2> <p>Decide what to do about this.</p> <h2>Original report</h2> <p>Working with aggregator I found that the author field is not working properly, the author tag content is not stored on the aggregator item on database. Looking the code I found a XML on the test module (/core/modules/aggregator/tests/modules/aggregator_test/aggregator_test_rss091.xml) with an author field so I think this worked on the past, but now is failing, using this test XML as feed shows how the field author is not stored.</p>
