Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hi
By 'author selection' do you mean the  'created by' field or the 'author name' field. 
The created by field is a list of registered and above user names that is those users who are able to login in the front end. 
The Author name is a simple text name the creator types in.

The appearance or not of these 2 fields, and other fields, are controlled by the User Groups Settings.
Specifically in the second part of the 'Group Creation/Editing Settings', that is the ' which has the relevant Data Field Selection 'tick boxes.

Is this problem solved?
No, it is not yet resolved, while I am working on the site, with this little problem. What happens is that before in the JD administration I did a search in the filter to see who had contributed a file and they came out organized when I used JD 3, is that my site has more than 40,000 files contributed by more than 14,000 users, my site It is dynamic and members contribute midi files every day. Arno, I hope this is fixed over time in future versions

This problem is solved in 4.0.34 on my test site!  The field concerned is the 'Created By' in the Publishing options.  So there has been a change in name - it is no longer author.  See the image attached - note I have some downloads without the Creator field set
