Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In our use case, we're automatically populating metadata from CrossRef and then enhancing metadata in the deposit form. Currently existing metadata in the creators field, like a name, that is replaced when you use the "Search for persons" functionality. This is problematic when you want to retain the published name form for an article, but enhance the name with additional metadata from the vocabulary such as identifiers or affiliations.
Describe the solution you'd like
The "Search for persons" box should only add new metadata, not replace existing metadata in the modal.
