 * Update to mention that I was wrong. You can create duplicates with the Yoast 
   API, but I don’t think you can create republish copies that way

 * I would also like information about this. Or to request this as a feature if 
   it’s not available.
 * Edit: Looked into the Yoast API and it should be possible to implement this using
   the [duplicate_post_create_duplicate](https://developer.yoast.com/duplicate-post/functions-template-tags/#duplicate_post_create_duplicate)
   function. So not using the WP API, but with a custom implementation.

 * Thank you for looking into this for us. We were able to determine that the plugin
   [ACF Extended](https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-extended/) was the source of
   the conflict. With that plugin deactivated, the Republish function behaves normally
   with author changes. We are not currently using ACF Extended on our production
   site, so this isn’t a problem for us at the moment. Thanks again for the help.

 * That’s correct. We were testing with ACF text fields specifically.
