[Resolved] Add post author column data in post type dashboard

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a custom post type created in Toolset. In the wp-admin dashboard that lists the posts in this CPT, I would like to display the post author information.

Solution: Activate the author option for this post type in Toolset > Post Types. Then use the Screen Options tab in the dashboard to display the post author column.

There are two steps involved here.
1. Edit the post type in Toolset > Post types. In the Sections to display when editing panel, activate the author field.
2. In the dashboard list for this post type, open the Screen Options panel and turn on the author field.
