Updating Film Status - IMDbPro won’t let me update my film’s status

I’ve tried for several days to update the status of my film from “Post-Production” to “Released.” I’ve entered the PBS link to my film where it shows it has been released nation-wide on PBS, yet my film’s status still shows “Post-Production” and lists my credits for the film still as “Upcoming.” 

Why isn’t this updating to the correct distribution status?

@SWashington- You're welcome! Thank you for posting it!

Further reviewing and as per our guidelines, this infromation needs to be added to the Release Dates section since the 'released' production status is derived automatically from the Release Date on the title.

You are welcome to submit the Release Date through its respective section on the contribution form.

Okay, I just added a new item under “Release Date” for the film with the updated release date. (Contribution #260223-195337-610000). Is this the correct way to make the change?
