When uploading the title data for the movie “The Favourite” (barcode 4010232077967), the following error message appears:
"Please do not add numbers to person names () with a number in it is invalid in person names. The name "Emma Stone (III) ist invalid.
I haven't changed the list of actors. Emma Stone's entry on IMDb also reads “Emma Stone (III)”. I can't remove the suffix (III) from her name.
What to do?
Edit:
Same for the movie "La La Land" (barcode 4006680078724)

Of course, I tried that. But after saving, „Emma Stone (III)” appears again.

After deleting and re-adding the title, everything looks correct at first. But as soon as you make changes to the title, the display changes back from “Emma Stone” to “Emma Stone (III).”
So there's still a problem with this title—or rather, with all titles in which Emma Stone appears.

All the movies in which Emma Stone has appeared now show “Emma Stone (III).” I think someone in the IMDb database changed the name for whatever reason. And since the MyMovies software checks for special characters here, you can no longer update these movies.

See also my recent bug report in the forum on the "My Movies / Windows / Support" on this issue. https://www.mymovies.dk/forum.aspx?g=posts&m=227413

Coincidentally, I just ran into this problem when attempting to add additional Crew information for "Heaven's Gate" (tt0080855) Movie record. (BTW, this Topic title doesn't mention Movie record data. Is this the appropriate place for my report, or should I continue it under the "Windows / Support" topic?") When I open "Edit Crew", the "Michael Cimino" shows up in the record as "Michael Cimino(VII)" -- see attached screen shot). I did not make this change. It was already there in the database, but if I tried to "Contribute Movie" after just adding Producer, Cinematographer, etc. data, the contribution attempt would be rejected as the names already in the database have numbers in their name. Looking at IMDB for "exact match" on "Michael Cimino", I see many names returned. (see attached) We have to not only have a way to disambiguate these in the MyMovies database, but to be able to provide the user with enough contextual information so that they can disambiguate before adding a new record, or even selecting an existing record. In the "bug" discussion on Windows/Support, I suggested displaying and allowing entry of the IMDB Name ID. For "Michael Cimino(VII)" the IMDB Name ID would be "nm0001047" File Attachment(s):

Trying to add Cinematographer "James Clarke" (nm7238233) to Movie "The Trip to Spain" (tt6193424). The app presents two "James Clarke" matches and asks me to choose one. I look at the details of each record, and neither has an IMDB Name ID assigned. I then attempt to create a new "James Clarke" record, so I can assign the correct IMDB Name ID to it without messing up any previous references. The app presents me with three "James Clarke" records, and asks me to choose one. All of them have unique IMDB Name IDs, but none of them match the ID of the person I am trying to reference. The two "James Clarke" records with no IMDB Name ID are not presented. (I assume the two without ID will need to have all of their references researched so that each reference can be assigned to the correct person.) I've filed a "Report Incorrect Data" request with explanation, but was only able to attach one screen shot. Here is the complete set of screen shots documenting the issue. File Attachment(s):
