IMDB doesn't allow me to change the year of a show

Hi. There's one TV show which has the wrong year as release date, it was apparently premiered in 2008 while IMDB says it was released in 2004. I want to correct it with proofs and yet IMDB rejects it saying that "An earlier release date of 1 January 2004 already exists for this title for a wide release in this country. You are attempting to add a release date with a release type implying some kind of limited screening. Please check the help page to ensure this new date is eligible."

I don't want to add a additional premiere date.  I just want to correct the release date. That's it.  Is it possible?

Isn't that a warning where you can choose "Warning understood, go ahead anyway"?

I Finally changed the year to 2008 but IMDB still says 2004 on the page. Is there any way to change it to 2008 there as well? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30088925/

Does the series has episodes? Meaning, that if the first episode has the 2004 release date, it probably needs to be changed. If all the episodes has release dates, they probably should be updated.

@eboy​ It does't have separate pages for episodes. The release date was updated to 2008 yet at IMDB still shows 2004!

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30088925 It should be "2008-2012", not "2004-2012"
