This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user would like to change the author of a post and set a subscriber user as the author.
Solution:
If you are using the classic editor for your custom post type, make sure that the author option is activated in the screen options. Check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/wzv3yg
If it is using the Blocks editor, it seems that there is a bug, in WordPress or Gutenberg that prevented it from appearing. We can reproduce this without Toolset Types.
But you can still change it in the posts list. Check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/wzvj1y

Hi Jamal,
I've tried the second option you've shown (through the "quick edit" option), but it doesn't appear on all posts. Only a handful show the author dropdown.
This is odd as these posts weren't added by the admin, and by users, and therefore should have the option to switch the author.
How can I fix this?
