We had an issue where updates to a custom category_form.xml file were made that changed their placement on the page. When I reverted back to the way it should have been, I now get duplicated fields.
This happened when we upgraded from 2.4.1 to 2.4.5.
The promo fields are also getting duplicated, but I’m guessing whatever the issue is with the author fields will be the same.
