I'm trying to replace the text input field of Modifier in Advanced Search form with an object finder, which allows to search users and pick one rather than simply entering his username. The control in question here is authority.ftl. I have tried to assign the control to the field in share-config-custom.xml but it didn't work (The control is simply not showing).
Edit: It's bizarre that the control is shown when assigned to "cm:name" which is a text property just like "cm:creator" and "cm:modifier", but it doesn't work for the latter.
