Release date attribute warning
This screen seems inherently conflicted:
On the one hand, the attribute field is greyed out and inaccessible.
On the other hand, the warning message wants an attribute.

bderoes: My guess is that this is intentional. If the film really is being screened in cinemas nationwide, as this one appears to be, then there should not be an attribute.
However, I would guess that a large number of films have been entered into the database with no attribute as though they had been released nationwide -- when, in fact, they weren't released nationwide and the submitter should have included an attribute.
So by giving a yellow (bypassable) warning, the IMDb staff gives the submitter another reminder that they should really be sure that the film had a nationwide cinema release.
In this particular case, submitting this way and checking "Warning understood, go ahead anyway" appears to be the right decision.

Hi, thanks for flagging this. I believe this warning was created before the change to the contribution interface. The message in the warning is now outdated. I have raised this with the appropriate team.
Thank you
