Editing Person Profile -> Menu "Known For" -> Double Choice "Directing"
posted by janarSTAFFMOD on November 12, 2017 at 8:41 AM
I was just adding info to the following page:
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/564082-francesca-gregorini/edit?active_nav_item=primary_facts
I wanted to change "Writing" to "Directing" in the new data menu "Known For" at the top. But in the menu, the choice/word "Directing" appears twice. Any idea why?
Also, when I choose the first one, it turns green when I want to change it again. Weird ... 
It's the first time I noticed this.
EDIT:
It's the same here with the double choice/word "Writing":

This is just a guess on my part here, but maybe it_might_ have something to do with the film versus tv credits. For both the jobs on both profile pages, there's both film and tv credits, for the others it's either only tv or only movie. It matches with J.J. Abrams. Both Production, Directing and Writing appearing twice (I unlocked the field to verify it haha) S
I know I've seen it before too! But, then again, I don't see . "Acting" twice for lots of entries... but, maybe it's only for crew jobs.

Hey @janar72, ya I just wasn't de-duping the departments across TV and movies. I just pushed an update that is properly doing that now.
