Hi,
I am not sure what to do with this situation.
A box set has several child profiles, they don't have their own UPC, so they are profiled by disc ID.
Of course, in these profiles the disc info now have these disc ID's.

Apparently the discs of a new release of the box set have different disc ID's.

Is it ok to substitute the old disco info with the new one? (but the profile disc ID then doesn't match with the new disc info)

Or, since the disc ID is different, does a new set of child profiles have to made?

regards,
Jeroen

Does the new release of the box have a new UPC as well? Or is it the same as the previous release?

I believe it's the same. I don't own the new discs, I am asking the question beacause of a recent contribution.

If it's a new release it's definitely not simply okay to overwrite the old information. That goes for all information, it's the original release that stays (or first in, if that can't be determined). You would have to create new child profiles for the new discs, and I'm not even sure if they can be added to the original box set but at least they would be in the database.

tricky one, but I would say: do not change and submit the boxset-contents of the parent-profile.

Like KinoNiki I think it is a "first release trumps"

I would simply profile the new child-profiles by Disc-ID and mention in the contribution-notes that they belong to a re-release of UPC 1234567890.
