Solved

Unable to add credit

251012-105958-351200 This is a submission in progress, which I am unable to submit. There is one uncredited "self" submission. It says I need to fill in a name, but when I submit "Self" and recheck the update, it removes the word "self", but then when I submit, it tells me again that I need to fill in a name, so I'm stuck in this endless loop and unable to submit

@tom_wake For the character name in the self section, please use a description of who the person is and/or the context in which they appear, for example, Professor of History at Harvard University or similar. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Unfortunately in this case there wasn't really a useful description I could add, so I tried a workaround by adding them as an actor with the character name "Self", but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have worked: 251012-145009-304000

@tom_wake- I can see that they were all approved on this submission. However, if that one credited is not displaying correctly, can you post the link of the name page? We are unable to see which one it is on that first submission you posted.

Thanks Maya - what can I do about other similar situations going forward, where there is no descriptor that can be added to uncredited Self roles, e.g. this one currently pending: 251019-114254-416000

Is there really no description of the person, what they were doing or why they appear? There are plenty of examples of uncredited “Audience member”. I would tend to put something that will help future readers to spot them or identify them. “Onlooker when host falls off unicycle” is not something I have used but I would if it applied to a well known person who already has a name page.
