'Known For" with multiple credits

Hi I selected which films I want for the "Known For" section but I have multiple credits for some of the films and I want it to show a different credit. For example it says I'm known for a film and lists my "sound department" credit but I want it to list "composer" as the credit. Help?

Hi evanojoseph -

Unfortunately, the "role" listing within your "Known For' selection cannot be changed.  When you are credited for multiple roles on a title (i.e. Producer and Writer for the same title), our system will display the role you're best known for according to the profession summary at the top of your IMDb page.

Currently, the profession summary is automatically generated based on your filmography credits and is ordered based on the number of credits you have listed for each profession.  So if you performed several roles on the same title (such as Producer and Writer), if you have more credited roles as a Writer, this is the profession that will automatically display below the title within the "Known For" section.

I hope this helps clarify.

@Michelle​ 

You said the profession listed with "known for" credits is based on the profession summary. Although you say the order of the professions is automatically generated, Pro members have actually been able to adjust the order since last year (as mentioned in the help page you linked to). So it would make sense if the "known for" display also followed that setting.
