Couldn't add a credit FROM a existing title, to an actor's page - auto-bidirectionality not working

Isn't bi-directionality of the title listings, meant to automatically create references in each matching actor's pages?

if so, then to anyone familiar with the problem,.. yyyyup,.. perhaps i'm going about it the wrong way around, but i tried updating infor for an actor's page, and it got auto-rejected since the actor's credit was already listed in the TITLE page,..

...which wasn't even the page i was trying to update/edit!

so... ?   how.  far from obvious.

counter-intuitive guys, makes things uneccessarily-difficult

---

i.e.  why did i get a rejection when i wasn't trying to edit that title's page?

someone manually fix it please

Suggestion ;

you've got too much bi-directional checking,

or only ONE-directional checking then working against updates for actors' pages, at-least.  the same might also happen when updating a title page, if detail is already in an actor's page,.. etc etc.  no idea how MANY bi-directional rejection problems you've got here, but at LEAST that direction of data-checking is buggering up.  NEEDS fixing, that's not just my expeiernce / potentials of having mis-used it somehow.   i.e.  blame/get-patronising with the customer, and they'll get pissed off.  FAILING to test it to see if it's working, will only keep the problem going for longer.

So yeah  -  pls fix yourselves/manually.  not my responsibility, i'm just a viewer.  your site, you fix it.
