There was a problem hiding this comment.
Seems like a reasonable fix for now, but I will have @cslzchen weigh in on this, as he would have a bit more knowledge on this workflow.

Ticket
Purpose
If a user has an existing ORCID ID, and then associates a new ORCID ID, the existing ORCID ID should be removed/overwritten
Changes
Side Effects
also maybe someone knows it better:
not confident whether we need to deal somehow with already existing in database values
not confident how it is /was possible to create several records for ORCID
maybe some backend workflow also will be needed for the stuff
