Credit moved to wrong department
Two credits were moved to wrong department. In Brasil, the props crew should be in the Art Department, not Property Department, because the props crew ALSO does the set decoration. So it's not just props. The correct department would be Art Department. I submitted these correction changes: #260922-0

Why no point contact field for managers, etc.
There is only a point contact field for talent agents. Like agents, clients may have multiple managers, publicists, attorneys with one being designated as the point. Not sure why this field is only available for agents. Please add this field for other representatives as well.

Years Are So Long
This contribution was rejected as "unable to verify". The classic 1937 film Make Way for Tomorrow was based on the novel "Years Are So Long" by Josephine Lawrence. IMDb shows the title as "The Years Are So Long" but there is no "the" in the title. https://archive.org/details/yearsaresolongno0000jose
