Add internal affiliation to non-affiliated researcher in the creator section of the asset form
Currently it is not possible to add an internal affiliation in the creator section of an asset against a non-affiliated researcher. This poses a problem for adjuncts, visiting academics, as well as staff that may have left the institution or had a researcher record automatically created on import. As the publication cycle often has a lag of a couple of years, assets may come into Esploro after the researcher has left, or the researcher may never have had an internal researcher record to begin with. It is not currently possible to add an internal affiliation against these authors, meaning we have to create a new User record for them, then an Esploro Researcher Record, then merge the unaffiliated researcher to their new affiliated researcher.
It would be good to be able to add an internal affiliation against these non-affiliated researchers so that the metadata in the Esploro asset page matches the article text and to streamline processes.

Already available using the row action "edit" to edit an existing creator that is a non-affiliated researcher.
