Hello

Anybody knows why "subject" property in DublinCore property sheet is
"lines", not string or text, as one would expect? Is there any
intricate logic in it, or can it be changed?

Hi,

This is for consistency with CMFDefault/DublinCore.py, a document can have
multiple subjects.

The reason is that Subject in ERP5 DublinCore is a list of keywords (one per
line). Keywords are intended to be indexed in the subject table (if it
still exists) in a similar way categories are indexed.
