If being adapted from a book/manga/webtoon, the author isn't always the same as the Screenwriter. So the author info should be included.

This would really be a good info to see all works of the same author that are turned into live action :)

This option is already available for novelists and manga authors.

See for example the novelist Higashino Keigo https://mydramalist.com/people/44299-higashino-keigo is listed as Writer (Book/Manga) in the cast of this movie https://mydramalist.com/706119-silence-parade/cast

The problem is that this Crew Role is quite new, so in the database there are not a lot of writers and many shows miss this info...

I see. That may be why I don't see this info. So such info just needs to be added/updated. Thank you for this! I might as well try to contribute such info.

If you can contribute yourself, that is the best option ;D In case you need them, these are the guidelines for editing and submitting new profiles https://mydramalist.com/discussions/support/17285-guidelines-editing-and-submitting-new-dramas-movies-and-actors 

Oh, and remember that you can choose only one crew role, so if the author is both original writer and screenwriter of the show, at the moment you can pick only one ^^''
