Include affiliation when replacing an author with an existing researcher
It would be more efficient if we could add an affiliation when we are replacing a creator/contributor on a record with an existing researcher. As it is, I need to replace and then go back and edit the researcher to include an affiliation.
Functionality available.

On the asset edit page (search for Research Asset > Edit > Creators and Contributors section > edit a researcher), the non-affiliated researcher can not choose between internal or external organization affiliation (this is limited currently to only external affiliations for the non-affiliated researchers), and the affiliated researcher can.
We would like to add an option for the non-affiliated researcher to select between the internal/external affiliated organization. -

I agree. As it stands at the moment the workflow has double handling, along with the lag time of opening the creator record. I also think it would be good to be able to add the affiliation for a researcher for which there is no affiliation saved, instead of having to go back into the creator on a record to edit afterwards.
