Any idea when that section will be unlocked? I try to update the information for
Abduction of an American Playgirl, but I must use three incorrect credits in the cast list because I can't write the credited names as listed in the film openning credit.

The three corects credits are Roger Caine (as... Al Levitsky), Alan Marlow (as... Allan Marlowe) and Levi Richards (as... Rick Livert). Because of the lock I can only list them without the alias wich doesn't make sense since it's not the way they are listed in the film credit.

I attach a screen capture of the opening credit to show how they are listed. Before that there is one screen to credit Darby Lloyd Rains without a role but the name of her character is the same as the one actually use in the imdb cast information.

No, you can certainly list these names.

The (as ...) attribute will be accepted, and it will still generate an alternate name that will show up on the Name page.

This is separate from the NAKA system that is in stasis.

The NAKA system is used to add an alternate name that is not listed in a credit. This might have been used for Episodes prior to Full Episode Support, and may still be used if somebody was known for a name for some other activity (such as professional sports before they were broadcast).

P.S. The correct format would be Roger Caine (as Al Levitsky) The ... in (as ...) is a placeholder for the omitted AKA name, not part of the attribute. If you tried to submit that way, I suspect that caused the rejection.

That make sense. I wanted to do it verbatim that I kept the ... part wich thinking of it isn't part of the name at all.

Thanks!
