Metadata technical problem

Question

Hi! My adobe bridge is having some technical problems. The author's name (under metadata's IPTC) and creator's name (under metadata's IPTC core) is simultaneously changed whenever I change one of them. If I typed into author's blank, the creator's blank will be changed to the same information. How do I troubleshoot and resolve this technical error? I used to be able to key in different names into both blanks.

This is by design. For example, both Bridge CS6 and CC2017 both behave this way, before/after trashing preferences.

Metadata values shown multiple times
Some values may appear multiple times within software panels or tabs. This data is stored in only one location in the image file, but appears in the tabs for different schemas which use it as a ‘shared property’.
For example, in Adobe products data entered in the IPTC Creator field also appears in the Author field in the Description Panel. If a change is made to the data in any tab or panel, that change is replicated in the other locations.
