Hi Will, can you please explain in easy steps how I can change the year of my film?
We tried to follow the instructions but there was no active option to change the year.
We want it to be 2020.
Our film is called 'The Hunt'. On IMDb it says: The Hunt (2019/VII) and in the search it appears as: The Hunt (VII) (2019) (Short)
Can we get rid of the Roman number?
Thank you.

If the film will be screened or released in 2020, add a release date and the title year will also be updated.

If you don't have a specific release date, you may be able to add only the year, but still in the release date field.

If the year is changed to 2020, the current Roman numeral will disappear, but another numeral may appear if there are other films with the same title in 2020.

But how do we do that? We couldn't find any possibility to correct/delete the date. Do we have to use the 'Add' button? Could you please kindly make a step by step list?
