author name (DocumentReviewComment.authorName) is a field stored on each document review comment record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the document review comment record's data. The authorName field belongs to the document review comment it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set authorName while working with that DocumentReviewComment record. Because authorName is part of the DocumentReviewComment record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the document review comment.
