OK, I see it. Turns out if you type anything in the AC field (which shouldn't be allowed), the result from the modal doesn't appear as it should

What we want is a search field, with the option to search for an existing author with no modifications. Then if we want the AC to be different (other author(s), pseudonyms,etc.) the user needs to click the edit button to open the modal.
Once the AC has been edited by the user, the "search field" cannot be used to search anything anymore, user can't type anything in it (input is disabled)
this is exactly what I mean (I'll not that, on mb if you type in the field and select some artist, after it's been filled and is green) you can select (and copy) that text, or even start tying again (or even research with the same text already filled in ((useful for shifting when artist is named the same but i a differnt artist))
