Hello,
I'm getting a NOTE on winbuilder, which doesn't come with much information:
Build log:> * using log directory 'd:/RCompile/CRANguest/R-devel/autodb.Rcheck'

Author text in original DESCRIPTION:> Authors using R: >     person(>       "Mark",>       "Webster", >       email = "markwebster204 using yahoo.co.uk",>       role = c("aut", "cre"),>       comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-3351-0686")>     )


If I build locally, the release (4.3.2) and development (2025-03-15 r87978 ucrt) versions do differ by the resulting Author DESCRIPTION field: the development version puts ORCID: in front of the Orcid URL.However, they both get the NOTE on Winbuilder.What is the error here?
Best Regards,Mark Webster
