Basically I'm wondering if it is possible to provide multiple / alternative interfaces / forms for the same set of data in the database with Seblod. I know I can write into an existing table, but what would I do if I'd want to something such as create a form in seblod that allows me only to change / overwrite the author name of existing standard joomla articles. The form would only have a selection dialog with the existing articles and a text field for the author name. With a select dynamic field it's easy to create a list of the existing article titles, filter that list etc., but now I want to overwrite the existing value of the author name in the db based on the selection - so to speak have an extra interface that only focuses on changing a small part of the standard article content type. Any hints again greatly appreciated :)

Author will always be based primarily on login credentials obviously. Another option would be to just go into the database #_content and change to author manually through there for your content types(not exact science definition there but you get the idea). Never tried that route but don't see why it wouldn't work and it would be efficient that way as long as there are no conflicts(which i wouldn't see why there would be). Not an expert in this area by any means but thought I'd throw out a few ideas for you.
