Now you journey into an area.that I have discussed numerous times so I will only hit a couple of high points. First off relative to more frequent rules updates ,no more than four per year, anymore and it would become a problem for the screeners. We want them reviewing profiles not worrying about what the rule change for today is. Secondly, while a long way from what I think we should be doing, ken has this right, if it is not listed use a custom role and wait to contribute. By all means discuss it in the rules forum or feature request area, but probably not here. This forum should be cut and dried, if its not in the list then don't do to rationalize it,  it, stop the endless discussions about rationalizing that always go, it is its in the list or it is not, in this case it is not. Various users.always try to create arguments  or parsing to back themselves up but the rules  need to be black and white, yes or no, that was the objective , not maybe. With the custom roles we have a system that allows for data a user considers important for himself, not contribute and discuss the data so that it might be included in the future.

Sound perfectly fine to me as a solution. We get rid of the actual crew groups (direction, writing, ...) and we change that for an open list where we enter the job as listed on the credit.

I don't like this idea as I prefer the crew groups.  What I would like to see is for us to keep the current grouping, and have the 'custom role' field contributable.  That way we have the grouping as well as the actual credit.

Why the group who wrote the rules didn't think at that? It isn't like it was impossible to do even with the old DVDP version...

Of course it was impossible to do.  In the old DVDP version, all we had was radio buttons.  How can you write a rule for open crew credits when it isn't possible in the program?
