Cannot edit title year after submitting release date

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29369567/

I added generic 1990 release date. I then try to submit title correction: Psycho Paul's Film Festival (1990)

I get this error:

This correction has been rejected. You need to correct this correction before it will be accepted.

  • The year in the new title must match the year in the old title.
    If you need to change the year as included in the title, please submit a release date corresponding to the new year. If you do not know the exact date within the year, it is okay to omit the day and month in the release date. We will then update the year in the title accordingly if required.

    Please note that if you are correcting an existing release date by more than a year, you should also provide an explanation to assist in processing this change.

What am I doing wrong?

It's 1990, source is the distributor: https://vinegarsyndrome.com/products/psycho-pauls-film-festival

Thanks.

Hello Skater1405,

Thanks for reporting the error message! The title year has now been adjusted and the change should be live on the site shortly.

I have also reported the wrong error message since there was a already approved Release Date, it is not necessary to request to add a new one, our team will take a look and take care of it.

Cheers!
