System prompting me to create a new title instead of a merge (Beany and Cecil Meet the Billy the Squid)
Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid
"Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid" is not a theatrical short film. It is a segment of a TV episode called "The Greatest Schmoe on Earth/Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid/The Capture of the Dreaded Three Headed Threep," which is from the series Matty's Funday Funnies.
I tried to change the title of "Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid" into the title of the episode in order to merge them, but the system did not prompt me to merge the two titles. Instead, it only warned me that I was changing the title type and that I was about create a new title.
I don't want to create a new title. I need to merge "Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid" into the episode of Matty's.

Jay: I tested this and it didn't seem to have a problem.
I tried submitting a Title Correction for Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid (1959) to change the title to
"Matty's Funday Funnies" (1959) {The Greatest Schmoe on Earth/Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid/The Capture of the Dreaded Three Headed Threep (#1.8)}
The explanation I provided was: Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid (1959) is not a theatrical short film. It is a segment of a television episode and should be merged into the episode.
On the next screen, I got two warnings: "There is a mismatch between the title type of the old and new titles...." and "The new title already exists in IMDb...." I checked both boxes for "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." I clicked "Re-check these updates" and the form turned green for "ready to submit".
I didn't actually click to submit the update but it ought to work properly.
