In Marketplace, the Asset Template Creator value appears to auto-populate Publisher in exported Dublin Core and DCAT-AP metadata, with no ability to override. This is not aligned with DCMI / DCAT-AP semantics.

Creator identifies the entity primarily responsible for making the resource, while Publisher identifies the entity responsible for making it available. These are often different.

Is there a way to override this behavior?

If not, could you please provide a separate Publisher field and allow Publisher to be managed independently of Creator in metadata mappings.
