Unable to Add Executive Producer to Series

Hi there,

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but even after reading through similar cases here haven't been able to determine what it is. 

I'm trying to add a new Executive Producer to the series I work on, Independent Lens on PBS.  I have submitted her with evidence as a credit update to the series, as she is series level producer since September 2023. In my second attempt, I added screenshots of the official credits page as well as screenshot of an episode (documentary) with her in the credits, as well as links to an official announcement, Wikipedia page, etc. Still rejected. Am I just submitting the wrong way?
Exec Producer Carrie Lozano is already on IMDb. Perhaps the confusion was independently in the past she was a producer on two previous episodes so it feels like a duplicate?

Last IMDb contribution submission here:

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/240710-161855-381000/?ref_=ra_his_wa 

IMDb credit page here:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1293485/

Do we need to submit her individually for every episode (much more laborious) rather than series level, which is what she should be?

Any guidance appreciated as I would like to learn what to do properly, since I have to submit a few more people as well. :)

Thanks!

You can do it in the same way and select the applicable episodes in the form. Credits like this must be attached to episodes.

Further to @Peter_pbn’s advice above (thanks), please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-add-an-episodic-credit/GRRHUZAQPQV4T2F9?ref_=helpsrall#multipleep  (the help works just as well for producer credits as it does for actors).

Thank you! I figured I was missing a step. So this sounds a little easier than having to submit separately for each of the 20(ish) episodes.  ;) I will go through the above steps, submit the same information, and cross fingers! Thanks again.

I resubmitted to include each individual episode as the above process suggests, which was easy to do. I do however still get this warning at the end, so wondering if I'm still doing something wrong. (But I submitted anyway and we'll see!)

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

  • This data should be submitted to specific episodes.
    We only accept series level data if it cannot be attached to a specific episode. If your data is episode-specific, please submit it to the relevant episode(s) instead.

     Warning understood, go ahead anyway.

  • Carrie Lozano is already credited for Independent Lens (1999) in the Producers section
    In case you are trying to change the order in which the person is listed: Sorry, but sections other than writers and cast can only be listed in alphabetical order.
