Episodes credits

@Mark13​ Thanks but this is not helpful, i know this. It's same thing what i do. I talk about copying credits from one episode to another, because sometimes there is 20 episodes or more with same credits, but i still need add same credits to every episode separately by sections. It takes so much time, where i could add credits to one episode, then copy those credits to other 20 episodes. That is how episode migrate should work

Ah ok, thanks ugnieska, I understand your use case better now.

Sadly what you want to do is not currently supported, but it is something I know the team have considered. 

To help us explore this and determine what is feasible, can you confirm which of the below approaches would best meet you needs, or if neither is right, what solution you would prefer:

1. After submitting a new episode with credits, ask you if you would like to add another episode with the same credits. If you say yes, create the episode with all credits populated and give you the opportunity to edit them and other episode data prior to submission.
2. At the time of creating a new episode, provide an "import credits" button. When you click the button a list of other episodes within the same series is shown. When you select an episode, it's credits are imported to the form and you are given the opportunity to edit them and other episode data prior to submission.

Thanks,

Mark

Episode migrate copies credits from the series to an episode. I believe that this was introduced when episode support was added many years ago.

What you are looking for it a feature that currently does not exist. Having a way to copy all the credits from an existing episode would be useful if the copied credits had a yes or no like the one you get for episode migrate. Without that I think there would be too many cases where people just copy all the credits without checking them.

Copying a previous contribution would be an alternative but also needs the yes or no.

@Mark13​ I think second option would work the best. I agree there could be random credits added, but i think it's not a problem. Because it's easier to remove few incorrect credits than add same credits to every episode individually.

@Peter_pbn​ I know this, i do this, but when every episode has 10+ credits to every section it takes so much time, because you still need to add names and occupations individually. Also you still need to know what credits you adding you can't add something random to future episodes, because credits can be different. Also where there is no knowledge how many episodes there will be. You can't add random episodes.

Thanks for flagging this ugnieska!

If I understand correctly, there are two issues here:

1. Inability to select 'On a streaming service (free or paid)' as the 'release type' when creating a new episode 
2. The Upcoming TV Episode Releases page filters to episodes with release type 'broadcast on TV', stopping you from seeing upcoming streaming titles

Is that correct?

If so, I'll raise tickets with the relevant teams to have these investigated.

Thanks,

Mark

Yes thanks, everything is correct

Thanks @ugnieska​, I've raised tickets with the relevant teams for both issues. And will update this thread when they respond.

Hi @ugnieska, issue 2 has now been resolved. I do not have an ETA for issue 1, but the team is aware of the issue and will investigate further.

For what reason was this moved? It's not the same issue, not even close. You burying something what is a problem, to idea section. It's now definitely will be solved, awesome. Let them pile more of this, definitely will be much easier to solve this later.
