How to submit a character name that is in quotes in the on-screen cast list

The on-screen cast list for "Yanks Go Home" (1976) {Rossi Keeps His Cool (#1.6)} includes a character 'Al Jolson' which is enclosed in quotes, presumably to denote that it is a nickname or a person imitating him in a stage show. https://i.postimg.cc/m2L1MtrM/Image1.png The form validation now strips off single or double quotes around character names, so I can't submit the entry as it is written in the on-screen credits. I raised this issue for another similar situation https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/submitting-a-character-name-that-is-surrounded-by-quotation-marks-to-denote-assumedfalse-name-in-onscreen-credits/67e9c87a34497d30c4188976 and that specific instance was resolved but the underlying problem hasn't been fixed. My preference would be for character name that is in quotes to generate a warning with an "are you sure" check-box, as opposed to code which strips off the quotes and can't be overridden. I've submitted the name without quotes as part of 250902-174210-527000. Can an admin please modify the IMDB entry so it matches the credits.
