Systemic error in the series Vis a Vis for the Art Directors

In general, we could debate what is the difference between an Art Director and a Production Designer. IMDb's guide cops out of the problem, giving examples of what's not one and the other, and implying (not stating) that the Art Director is the boss of a Production Designer...

«Art directors - This list is used only for art directors; related jobs should go either to specific lists where they exist (production designer, set decorator) or to the art department list. »

In this excellent Spanish TV production, of which I've seen several episodes, [tt4524056] systematically credits (I believe in the whole series), Fernando González and Xabier Iriondo as, I quote, «Direccion artistica» or, for those who did not learn anything in their Latin classes, «Art direction».

However, IMDb registers them as Production Designers, which is a systematic mistake I can not correct by myself.

Please rectify!

I include two screen captures from different episodes.

Thank you for suggesting that, but I know that.

The series has 4 seasons, 51 episodes in all, so it's pretty easy going through the 51 episodes, delete the entries for Production Designers in each, adding them as Art Directors (that's 4 operations x 51 = 204 items)...

I'm not exactly lazy, but I decided I wouldn't do it, and was hoping some IMDb magician could do it quicker with software programming.
