The patch for the above bug

[jdk2588@…]

The argument that is passed in the umit.plugin.Core.py for the set_field() function with the argument func(attr) doesn't take for lists , should be string or None

Thanks for the patch.

It's pretty weird. But after apply the patch it is now showing Author in credits. I attached another one.

Note that authors should be a list. [1]
