when uploading multiple items to have the ability to change the author/ originator

Sometimes to save time on waiting for information to be uploaded we can upload it ourselves but with the new uploading tool, it doesn't allow you to change the author/originator for multiple uploads. Having this option would save a lot of time as it would mean editing all new items later to reflect this.

    I would be very mindful of uploading on behalf of the author/originator. If the item enters a workflow and even if you have subsequently changed the author/originator details, they will be unable to see it as the system will not recognise them as the owner/uploader. They need to be the 'actual' uploaded/item owner.
