Per 'https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/190820-123419-839000/' one would expect the (approved) Plot Outline to appear at 'https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7395752/plotsummary' - but, despite submission on August 20th, only the (pre-existing) Plot Summary appears...?

Further, after many, many rounds of submissions each Episode for 'Film School Shorts' Season 5 has a Plot Outline (displayed in the list of titles associated with the season) & a Plot Summary (displayed on a respective title's page) - exclusive of this one particular Episode; though by no means perfect, it should be noted that the show's episodes consist of collections of short films - so this approach, at a minimum, allows for finding a given film/episode and clicking through to more information... but, for whatever reason, took a disproportionate measure of effort to get approved update-by-update.

Hi idfubar,
Thanks for your post.
I've taken a look at your submission reference - it's been rejected by an editor with 'Duplicate' as an existing item is already live in the plot outline spot on the title here:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7395752/
You should submit a correction to the existing outline if the current one isn't representative of the title.
Give this a shot and let us know if you keep seeing problems.

PS: It should be noted the submission reference '190820-123419-839000' - when viewed by any given visitor - says "Approved"; shouldn't the result have been two Plot Outlines - the pre-existing ("long") item & the newly-added ("short") item? Further, the 'Update History' view provided by IMDB states which facet of an episode is the subject of a given submission, e.g. Plot Outline/Plot Summary, but attempts to view the details for a given submission do not always result in a contribution which is consistent with its summary (e.g. https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/190809-091441-434000 - which, presumably, pertains to both an outline & a summary).
PPS: As already explained, this is the "n_th" effort at getting the episode to match the other episodes in the season, i.e. a short Plot Outline & a longer Plot Summary (w/links, etc.); attempts to submit corrections to the existing outline and summary had already been rejected ("Unable to verify.") - so the linked contribution is an attempt to submit all of the required changes in one submission.

At present the episode details - and the contribution status - reflect the opposite...?

Please note that the update referenced in the original posting ('https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/190820-123419-839000/') was ultimately rejected ("Unsupported locale") - after initially being accepted - and that, in light of an earlier submission containing the desired change having been rejected ('https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/190812-042203-983000'), a new submission - of minimum length - was made: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/191219-010455-653000

So... someone can help?
So far both responses from IMDb contradict the publicly-accessible (reproducible) information available, i.e. (1) submission '190820-123419-839000' is marked as 'Approved' (with no corresponding change to episode details) & (2) submission '191007-015254-604000' (reflecting all desired changes) is not marked as 'Approved'; anyone care to shed some light on where the gap in communication could be (so that we can get the referenced episode consistent with the rest of the Film School Shorts Season 5 episodes)?
