Unique release type rejected by system
Updating Information for Coupled Up for Christmas (2023) (TV)
The following release types already exist:
Release Date
Ukraine January 11, 2023(theatrical release)
Australia October 18, 2023(internet)
United States December 6, 2023(internet)
United States December 22, 2024
Thinking that the last one listed above might be Great American Family's TV premiere of this movie having been moved up from December to November, I initially tried to submit my entry as a correction to the last one listed above; but not knowing for sure what type it was supposed to be (possibly a theatrical release as in Ukraine), I tried a different approach. It wasn't until afterward that I saw, "For movies, an empty attribute field implies a nationwide theatrical release," which I suspected might be the case with this one. Consequently, I went to submit mine as a TV release, which is what it is and which is what I'd normally have done were it not for the specifically unspecified December release at its very entry in the list, unlike the one for Ukraine.
My normal entry for a TV release date (not a wide, i.e., theatrical, release as suggested by the rejection):
"Premieres Sunday, November 10 at 8/7c" —Great American Family Coupled Up for Christmas
However, although there is no TV release listed at the top for the USA, your system rejected this.
This item has been rejected. You need to correct this item before it will be accepted.
Duplicate release date.
It looks like you are attempting to add a wide release date for country USA. However we already have a date live for this country. Please review the existing data and if necessary, correct.
I'm submitting TV premiere dates for new movies all the time. Indeed, this has become my primary type of submissions. This is the first time I've run into this problem specifically. Thanks BTW for changing the amorphous "internet" type to the more focused, "On a streaming service...."

For a TV movie, the empty attribute field implies a TV release. So there is probably no reason to think there will be a theatrical release. You will probably have to correct the existing date.
