We've decided to abandon the Attribution Label field because we have too
many users who input attributions and found it very difficult for them to
remember this additional step. Which in turn made it too difficult for us
to keep on top of auditing it.

Instead, we approached Gallery Systems to help us create a Scalar-valued
Function that automatically concatenates all Object-Related Constituents
that have both Displayed and Active checked off in the Constituents
Assistant.  You can then take the function and insert it into views (for
both reports and Listviews). We found that this was the best solution
because it concatenates all artists into one field so it outputs like so:
"Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse"
