Problem with ORCID functionality in PURE 4.18

It is with great disappointment that we've discovered that PURE 4.18 is not going to give us the ORCID functionality that we wanted for our project. PURE 4.18 gives us a field for researchers to add their ORCID iD but the creation and check functions are not working. There is no fix in 4.18. If we want the ORCID functionality that we were looking for we will need to wait for 4.19 to be available to us.

Despite the best efforts of our colleagues, we do not have a timeline for the implementation of 4.19.
