Hi @manug,

See this related issue. I’d suggest manually entering section information to the About field.

So, you suggest to put directly the information and not to use the section area?

Hi @manug,

Our previous (OJS 2.x) approach to many parts of the system was to introduce a lot of specific fields. While that’s convenient if your journal operates as we expected during design, it was an inflexible approach and made e.g. the setup area huge and unwieldy. We’re decreasing the number of fields/options in favour of fewer, more general areas; this is a reflection of that change in approach. Yes, best to put it into the About field. We’ll likely remove the checkbox you reference.
