The Release Dates section in the contribution form is broken
First of all, the "attributes menu" for the "Additional information" field (you know, which you open with a little grey arrow) which you are supposed to fill out for a Premiere/Event, Physical Media, Festival or "Other" release, has disappeared. HUGE issue.
Secondly, for straight-to-video titles, you logically should select the "Physical Media" option, which forces you to put a "Media Format in the "Additional information" or the update is rejected. However, putting one, such as the typical and widely used "DVD Premiere", "video premiere" and so on also result in the item being rejected, with the message:
"The "(video premiere)" and "(DVD premiere)" attributes should not be used with this title. This title is already marked as a direct-to-video title by the "(V)" in the title. Therefore, the use of either the attribute (video premiere) or (DVD premiere) is redundant."
And I agree that it is redundant, video releases should have no attribute to their release dates unless that date is a different type of release than a video release, just like TV titles don't have "TV" attributes and films don't have "theatrical" attributes. But here you are forcing attributes but also blocking the ones that are typically used on IMDB...which forced me to add new release dates to some video titles under the "Unknown" type, so they now have a little "(unknown)" attribute nest to their release date on IMDB...massively stupid.
Also, what's up with the changes on this forum? Why is no longer possible to format text, insert links, pictures and so on?
