MCreator doesn't let me edit the authors to my mod.

I'm working on a mod and eventually noticed that the authors contain my real life name. This is an issue for obvious reasons. I eventually found the place where to edit it, however when I edit it and try export my mod, the name still is the same, showing my real name. Is there any way to fix this? Please let me know as I'd like to someday publish the mod and it'd be a huge invasion of privacy.

I don't know why you have this situation, but you can manually rewrite the author's name by opening the exported mod as an archive and changing the eleventh line in the file along the path META-INF\mods.toml.
