Error when submitting a credited-as "The as attribute "as Frances Churchill" is not eligible for submission."
I notice that a lot of the credits for actress Frances Wilding nm1544089 have the attribute "(as a different name)" without listing that name. When I tried to correct one, to the attribute "(as Frances Churchill)", I got an error
The as attribute "as Frances Churchill" is not eligible for submission.
Interestingly, "(as Frances)" passed the form validation - though of course I didn't submit it!
Can an admin find out what the problem is.
The episode was "Casualty" (1986) {The Ties That Bind (#13.4)} tt0537521 and the relevant credit is https://i.postimg.cc/85jjV36X/Classic-Casualty-20240403-1035-020-Drama.png
I am assuming that the information (submtted by someone else) is factually correct, that the actress playing the part was Frances Wilding aka Frances Churchill. There is no actress called Frances Churchill in IMDB. https://www.bodalgo.com/en/voice-over-talents/fran-churchill shows a link between Wilding and Churchill names: the URL ends "fran_churchill" and some of the sound samples include the name - eg "Franchurchill Commercial Voicereel". Seems that she has changed her name - exactly the situation that the "(as ...)" IMDB attribute is used for.
The correction will probably be needed for her appearances in other episodes of Season 13 of Casualty which are due to be repeated (so I can verify them) in the next few days. It is tempting to speculate that her credits for other titles should be changed from "(as a different name)" to "(as Frances Churchill)" but that is probably an assumption too far which would need to be verified by sight of the credits. ;-)
I wonder if "(as a different name)" was someone's attempt to bypass the "not eligible" error ;-)

If this is another example of a person who has claimed their page and blocked references to their prior name, the contribution form might need to be more specific about why corrections are rejected. It seems we get a fair number of posts on this topic that could be preventable.
Perhaps a notice on the Edit form that the Named person has opted into this "as a different name" choice?
