Submit New Title Assistant (Beta)

@kristin No, not at all, the “currently” really applies to the fact that it is currently in testing and currently only available to a subset of contributors. We hope to make it available to everyone if the test is successful, but it is more aimed at novice contributors.  The existing new title form will remain available for more experienced contributors. 

Great! Will be fun to test once it is available:-)

So, I tried this again,(Using PC, windows 11, Firefox) I really miss there is no "back to previous step" or similar. I'm adding a new documentary tv series that has not aired yet, I need 3 credits the form says, I answered "no" to the question if I know how the director is, later when searching the web for 3 cast members, I found out who the director is. But there is no "back" option, after adding the host as "self" I get : "We need two more credits. Which type would you like to add next?" and a list of choices, but the "director" is not on that list (since I already answered NO).

So either the director should be on the "button list" , or there should be a "back one step" option i think.

I ended up "X" ing out and starting all over again from start so I can get my 3 cast/crew and get  further.

You write:

 and we've made a change to auto-complete release date year based on the title year.

No, that does not happen.

as @Peter_pbn​  wrote:

 Also, the top of the form was red because I had to select "on-going" or add an end year. If I was a newbie I would probably be confused.

see my 2 pictures from today 10. january 2026:

re-check buttonNOW, the check for if it is an existing title comes in, after I am done with the chat dialogue..

"We already have titles which are similar to '"Golden vs. Zuckerberg" (2026)', are you sure it's not one of these? :-"

Check "This is not an existing title."re-check button

Should not the "existing title" check come in the beginning of the chat, and not after you are done with the chat and are transferred to the "old" manual form?

and now I have to fill inn Release country and date? ( in the old manual form) 

In the "chat" i did get the question:

What year was it or will it be released?

I did not get any question in the chat about  if I know which date it will be released ?

why?

Rest is now in the manual "old" form I have been transferred to.

   re-check     

I have to answer about color, this the chat boot should be able to ask about?     

----------This I understand is difficult in the chat bot:

This item has warnings, you must acknowledge each one before this item will be accepted.

    The 'Documentary' genre is only for use in full documentaries.    Please see the genre guide for more information & only click to ignore this warning if this genre still applies after reading.

     Warning understood, go ahead anyway.

Re check

Now i finally get the " Submit these updates" button

Before I "Submit these updates" I did have to manually fill inn Role "Host" The chat form does not have any questions whether I know what role the person has in the production. (Don't know if this is because I only tested adding "self")

I also wish for an option after Language and genre "click here if there are more than one language/genres etc" (an option you click IF there is mor than one, but that you DONT have to click to get to the next question.)

Also did fill in manually in old form: Running times, distributors, plot outline, keywords, additional languages.

Thanks for the detailed feedback kristin!

I'll pass this on to the team and see what we can do to address these issues.

Thanks,
