At the moment, users are forced to decide on author initials if not set. If they try to escape the dialog, it will just show up again until the user enters something.

I think we will leave this for 5.3. I am happy to change it to some default value after the release.

We could return a default value for those calls to #authorInitials but keep the prompt alive for new request. Hmm...

Thanks for pointing this out! I also find it confusing from time to time. Especially in a new image.

Best,
Marcel
