Thanks Darryl, This makes sense now. In my testing the same authority key is generated for dc.contributor.editor and it's different from the key generated for dc.contrinbutor.author so i believe it's by design.
I hope there's a good reason for that because it's essentially the same person, and the problem is when browsing by author the same person is listed twice which causes a confusion. -Mike On Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at 1:45:42 PM UTC-4, Darryl Friesen wrote: > > > Mike, the ORCID Integration page ( > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/ORCID+Integration#ORCIDIntegration-AddingadditionalfieldsunderORCID) > > has this comment > > *Note*: Each metadata field has a separate set of authority records. >> Authority keys are not shared between different metadata fields.
