IMDb contributions cannot be edited after submission (while still awaiting review), but new submissions are rejected as "duplicates"

I updated some information about a film on IMDb and wanted to provide a website URL to substantiate the information, but I added the wrong URL. I am unable to update the URL, and every time I add a new submission, it is immediately rejected as a "duplicate" of the pending submission. I just want to edit my submission and I don't understand why it is not possible.

Hi RareElectronic, It is not possible to edit a pending submission. Therefore, you will have to wait until your original submission has been processed in order to edit or correct any information. You can track the status of your submission in your Contribution History (https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history) and review our processing times guide at the following page: https://contribute.imdb.com/times. Thanks for your understanding!
