Author's CK data missing in Charts & Graphs

Molly Keane published several books under the pseudonym M. J. Farrell. My library contains books under each name. For some reason some of the CK data shows up as "not set" for M. J. Farrell, even though it's on the author page. Specifically: gender, nationality, and the birth and death dates used for "dead or alive".

Is there a way to resolve this issue?

I think the problem is with Treasure Hunt. You have it listed as being by Farrell, but the work is listed under Keene, therefore the Farrell CK is not recognized. The easiest way to resolve this would be to change your author name. I see that cover you are using lists the author as Keene.

This is a known bug for separated authors that I don't think ever got checked.

>2 MarthaJeanne: Good catch, and I changed the author name in my catalog. But the Charts & Graphs reports still show Farrell's gender, nationality, and dead/alive as "not set".

So I'm inclined to go with >3 gilroy:. By known bug are you saying it was reported somewhere like the Bug Collectors group? How long ago was that?

There's also Full House (edit: added link to book) in your library under M. J. Farrell, which looking at the dates it shows you added in 2008 before the Farrell authorname was split (in 2023) and Full House never got a chance to be assigned into the (1) split because by then the majority authorname on it was Molly Keane. I've tried some shenanigans to tell the site it is by M. J. Farrell (1) – separated an edition, assigned it to the (1) split, recombined the edition.

I don't know if that's something that will just take a bit of time to percolate through to your book record. Or it might possibly still need you to edit your book to get it to pick up the (1), not sure.

>4 lauralkeet: It was listed as a bug when the new Charts and Graphs were announced and I don't know it ever got addressed.

>5 Nevov: Thanks for digging into this. I gave it some time (several hours/overnight), and didn't see any change in my CK graphs. And when I looked at the (1) split, it still showed the same set of books (i.e., did not include Full House).

Then I remembered the suggestion in >2 MarthaJeanne:: change the author on my book. I did this for Treasure Hunt yesterday but didn't realize Full House also had the "wrong" author. I just changed it to Molly Keane and voila, the CK Charts & Graphs for gender, nationality, and dead/alive no longer list M.J. Farrell as "not set". I'm not sure why the author of these two books was incorrect in my catalog, but it was probably my own fault, the result of something I did years ago.

I REALLY appreciate the detective work, @MarthaJeanne and @Nevov!!

Sometimes there isn't a lot you can do. I have my 'not set' in gender down to under 1% of my authors. Many of the rest have no data available that I can find. Others have data for several different people, and doing the split would leave most of the books - and often mine - in the unknown section.

If a book has been published under various author names, none of them are 'wrong', but some fit the LT set up better than others.
