Description

Describe the bug

  • An author was added without their orcid. it is currently in the typesetting stage.
  • editing the metadata after article was published to put orcid data on author (edit/article/XXXX/author-metadata/)
  • on the author it says _If the ORCID is incorrect, add a new author by searching for the correct ORCID. _
  • try to delete the author in order to add via orcid by clicking remove author on the author-metadata page: /submit/1008/author/2097/delete/?next=/edit/article/1008/author-metadata/ which results in DeprecationWarning: Authorship is now exclusively handled via FrozenAuthor.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure from the author-metadata page at /edit/article/1008/author-metadata/ and inspect the remove-author route shown in the report: /submit/1008/author/2097/delete/. Trace the DeprecationWarning about Authorship and FrozenAuthor, then verify that removing the author allows a replacement author to be added by ORCID.
