2nd profile created for an actress

[movieboy]

I added Najwa Nimri in 2 different TV series one after the other https://www.criticker.com/tv/Vis-a-vis-2015/ & https://www.criticker.com/tv/La-casa-de-papel/

Najwa Nimri already had a profile on criticker - https://www.criticker.com/people/Najwa_Nimri/

but adding her to https://www.criticker.com/tv/La-casa-de-papel/ created a 2nd profile for her - https://www.criticker.com/people/Najwa_Nimri_b/

I am not sure if I did something wrong while entering her name in the 2nd series or if this is a bug.

Thanks for letting us know! Not sure what caused it in this case, but this will occasionally happen when a title hasn't been approved yet. I don't think that's what happened here.

In the future, if you see this type of thing, please report it with the "Update Information" box on the Filmmaker's page -- that allows our moderators to more quickly process this kind of stuff

I was able to repro the bug with another attempt. I added a movie for another existing actor (Atkins Estimond) using update info for the film - https://www.criticker.com/tv/Inside-Man-2022/

I did it twice to be sure (sorry for the bother)

The repro steps are simple - I added a space before & after the name while adding the actor name in the update box of the film. When I submit, the leading space is converted to a comma & it creates a new profile

These are 2nd profiles added by the bug for 2 other actors I added now while trying to repro.

However, for Najwa_Nimri the 2nd profile didn't have a leading comma. So I think there I probably only added a space at the end accidentally. Which also creates a 2nd profile but without a leading comma.

Either way, I guess doing a ltrim & rtrim spaces should fix the bug.

Thanks for those reproduction steps! Seems pretty straightforward, so we'll try and get this fixed up soon!
