Source of person record (Mint or NLA) not always shown

[grantj-re3]

In ReDBox, after I select a creator via an NLA Lookup in the People tab of the main workflow, the text "(NLA)" appears to the right of the person details. If I save and exit then I (or someone else) re-edits the record, the text "(NLA)" is no longer present. This is inconvenient because I cannot tell if the listed creator has been selected from Mint or from the NLA. This problem also applies to the Primary Contact and Supervisor fields so I recommend it is fixed in all 3 places. (Actually, the Supervisor field is slightly worse in that it does not even show the "(NLA)" text immediately after selection.)

More detail

This problem may also apply to DMPT & self-sub dataset workflows, however I suspect it is not important in those workflows provided a reviewer in the main dataset workflow can differentiate between NLA & Mint parties prior to publication.

You may ask "Why would you ever chose an NLA-person as a creator when you already have that person listed in Mint?"

Our usage of ReDBox, Mint, institutional sources of truth for people & NLA IDs are still evolving. However it appears that person metadata from our institutional source of truth which is loaded into Mint is suitably rich for use by NLA Trove People and Organisations zone if that person is still an employee at our university whereas if that person is no longer an employee then it is not rich so we would prefer to point to an existing NLA Identifier for that person (if one exists) rather than contribute our non-rich party record to the existing NLA container (identifier) record.

In addition, our process to date has been that one person creates the dataset metadata record and a different person reviews it prior to publication. Hence this issue prevents the reviewer from seeing whether the creator (or primary contact or supervisor) was derived from NLA or Mint.
