I agree with Ace_of_Sevens.
Original title is for the parent profile - children do not get this data.
The rule for the individual profile says, and I quote, "Create each of these individual profiles in line with the standard Contribution Rules."
The standard rules say, again I quote, "The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title."
Based on that, the child profiles can have an original title. And with that being said, looking at it that way where I was going was because in my mind this portion of the original title rule applies Quote:
Modified Titles: The Original Title field will contain the original theatrical title, while the Title field will contain the title of the DVD release. For instance, for the Special Edition rerelease of There's Something About Mary:
Title: There's Something More About Mary
Original Title: There's Something About Mary
Since "Band of Brothers: Disc 1" is a modified title and the feature is "Band of Brothers" |

No where in the title rules does iit specify how to handle the titles of the disc ID based profiles, they are modified version o fthe release, whether they come from the disc label or a hybrid of the release title and the disc label. | | | | Last edited: by Scooter1836 |

I dispute this. The particular content of disc 1 as a single unit is unique to the DVD release, so there's nothing to modify from. You might as well try to assign an original title to Rocky: The Undisputed Collection based on the fact this exact title is never onscreen. Furthermore, the rules don't say anywhere to use the OT field any time there is a title modified for any reason. They give specific situations where it should be used and this doesn't fit either of them. Besides the rule says to use the original theatrical title. Band of Brothers was never shown in theaters to my knowledge. I don't endorse this view. I think that by implication, we should use this field for analogous situations for works that premiered in other venues. My point is that if you are going going to quibble over words, your position still doesn't make sense. Edited to add: You've explained why you think your position is allowed under the rules and I have explained why I don't think it is. I think rules lawyering is unlikely to be productive. Do you also have arguments as to why this is good policy? Here are my reasons why it isn't: 1. It adds no useful data. 2. It mucks up the program for people who view their collection by original title. | | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

It does add useful data because it allows the CLT results to be less skewed which many people care about as well And like always you take a simple example and try to turn it around that it can only be that example and nothing similar. At least some things don't change. |
