Pulling in the affiliation metadata from ORCID when registering a DOI in DataCite Fabrica

[paulvierkant]

What is the problem that your suggestion solves?

It's great that I can paste an ORCID iD into the name identifier field so I don't have to fill in the the creator metadata manually. However, I still have to do that for the affiliation field.

What solution might meet your needs?

If available, pull in the affiliation metadata (probably the latest affiliation) from the ORCID record of the creator. Paste it in the field of the affiliation as a suggestion, so the user can still change the affiliation manually. If automated. this saves approx. 5 seconds.

In addition, this potentially increases the chances of having this field filled out with information that is correct.

The same goes for the affiliation of the contributor.
