No Status

'Submit these updates' button is missing when trying to add a crew member

I am trying to add a crew member to a mini-series title, but when I click on the "Check these updates", nothing happens. 

I do not get the 'Submit these updates' button, that I was supposed to get and nothing else changes either. The box doesn't turn red, yellow or green, it remains white and the only other thing that I can do is "Save for later".

What could be causing this error?

Best regards

It's probably because IMDb wants series credits to be added to episodes. If the episodes are not listed yet, they can be added.

https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-add-an-episodic-credit/GRRHUZAQPQV4T2F9

Alternatively, you can add the year of the credit in the attribute field to get the form to work.

The malfunction you mention has been reported here, but not addressed:

Hi @Peter_pbn -

Thanks for posting the solution and noting these previous thread examples outlining the Contribution form issue.  I have now filed a ticket for the appropriate team to investigate and consider Warning options when adding cast data to a parent series title with no episodes listed.

Cheers!

Thank you for taking the time to answer this. I really appreciate it.

If I knew more details about individual episodes, I would add them, but I do not. And you are correct. Adding the year to the attribute field did fix the problem. I was able to add the crew members on the series level that way. 

Best regards

Hi @juanjuig & @Peter_pbn -

I'm just following up to confirm that this contribution bug has been fixed.  You will now see a Warning that can be acknowledged in order to make progress when submitting Cast credits to a parent series title page with no episodes. 

Cheers!
