    Hey Issa,

    (Background info: I’m using Gutenberg/Block Editor.) When I pick my contributor, and then save my draft, the contributor is no longer there when I refresh. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug or what? Be in touch if there’s anything else I can try/clarify.

    Regards!

    I wouldn’t call it a “bug”…but the OutVoice data is not stored along with drafts. In fact, no payment data at all is stored inside of WP. This is more of a “because it could become confusing” reason than a technical one. What is your use case that would make this helpful? Definitely open to adding that to our roadmap if it seems like it would be a useful feature.

    Interesting, thank you for the clarification. Well, I was just prepping some drafts and making edits as I waited for, y’know, authors’ revisions to come through. I figured I’d populate all the ‘known’ metadata, like the Outvoice contributor, ahead of time while waiting for the finished copy.

    This would also work, though: if I enter the contributors’ info and then SCHEDULE the post (without modifying the draft further), does that work? Or does it only fire if I’m publishing the piece right then and there?
