 * Set relevant DC fields in an item from name values in the form. Some fields are repeatable in the form.  If this is the case, and the field is "contributor.author", the names in the request will be from the fields as follows: contributor_author_last_0       -> last name of first author contributor_author_first_0      -> first name(s) of first author contributor_author_last_1       -> last name of second author contributor_author_first_1      -> first name(s) of second author and so on.  If the field is unqualified: contributor_last_0        -> last name of first contributor contributor_first_0       -> first name(s) of first contributor If the parameter "submit_contributor_author_remove_n" is set, that value is removed. Otherwise the parameters are of the form: contributor_author_last contributor_author_first The values will be put in separate DCValues, in the form "last name, first name(s)", ordered as they appear in the list. These will replace any existing values.
