Question about formatting writing credits - Morocco (1930) and the "play" Amy Jolly

An unusual problem has arisen with the writing credits for the 1930 film Morocco. There is a credit that reads "from the play "Amy Jolly" by Benno Vigny." This is an accurate representation of the screen credits, but the filmmakers themselves apparently made a mistake, as Vigny's story was written as a novel, not a play.

Is there a correct and proper way to clarify this on IMDb that will accurately represent the screen credits while also making it clear that the film was in fact based on a novel, rather than a play? I haven't found anything in IMDb's crew credit guidelines that clarifies how to deal with this sort of situation.

Hello majfoalbkeopaza

Credits are listed as they show in the original onscreen end credits, in this case we have the credit listed as "from the play "Amy Jolly" since this is the onscreen credit. Based on the guidelines it is already correct.
