Correct Credit - Series Level

I'm having trouble correcting a credit of mine. 

On the Brazilian TV Show PSI  (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3637900/) I am credited as assistant unit production manager - title sequence for all episodes in season 1. This credit is wrong.

The correct credit would be production assistant and as for (title sequence) I'm not sure if it is correct or not.

I was hired to shoot the series opening credits. It was a complete different crew from the series shoot. Different directors, different dates etc. We had nothing to do with the episode shooting, so I don't think it's fair to be credited for all episodes one season 1 if I have not taken part on shooting them.

At the same time, the results of my work are still used to this day on all seasons, after all, it's the title sequence. So I tried to update it to "series level", but the website doesn't let me do it. I tried even to add an explanation, but was not able to move on. When I select "series level" it asks me to select episodes and when I select episodes, it tells me that I can't use "series level" if I select episodes. So the credits remain wrong.

Can anyone help me or even change it for me?

This is my profile: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5336011/


Thank you.

Hello Eduardo,

My suggestion assumes that you were credited as a production assistant and not as an assistant unit production manager in the show's closing credits.

The corrections you'll need to submit will take a few steps. In my opinion, I would handle the updates this way.

1. Submit the production assistant credits for season 1 of the series. Production Assistants are listed in the Miscellaneous Crew/Other Crew section. You can submit those items from the Series Level of the title page. The longer way would be to submit the credit on each episode page.
 
2. After those submissions have been approved and posted, submit an update deleting the credits listed in the Production Management section on the name page itself. 

You can also submit a correction for each episode page.

In either case, make sure you include a statement for the IMDb editors why the credit is being removed.
(Example: Duplicate credit. Item was mistakenly submitted with the wrong job title. Actual credit: production assistant.)
You can also include the URL of this discussion in the explanation box.

I hope this helps. Please write back if you need some assistance with the corrections.

Just did what you told me to and as soon as the new credit as production assistant is live I will delete the other one. 

Now, what I'm really struggling, and perhaps I didn't make myself clear in the previous post, is that I want to find a way to not be credited for all the episode in season 1, since I did not work in any of them.

I worked on the title sequence of the series, that is still the same sequence they use 4 seasons in. That's why I was trying to select "series level" but still imdb asked me to select what episodes I took part.

I see. So what I was looking for is not exactly possible to do. I still feel it's not exactly a fair representation of the exact job I was credited for, but it's much better now and I will leave it as it is.

Thank you so much for your help.
