Error: You need to have an author for this song

I'm new here, so maybe I don't have something set right.

Whenever I try to add a new song I get the "You need to have an author for this song" error.

Things I have tried:

1) Adding a new author

2) Selecting an author from the dropdown

3) Restarting the program

This is on a Win 10 pc.

Not only add the author but assign to the song.
