I’m sure there are ways to do this but searching the database hasn’t helped me. I looked for a plug-in but I don’t know if there is one that will help or which one that is.    Sooo…

I cut and pasted the data from the same TV show I am updating. The episodes crew/cast data is correct but incomplete and I want to add the missing data. When I try to do so the information goes to the last episode and not to any of the previous ones. Is there a way that I can enter new data without having to erase all the other episodes?

Only indirectly, AFAIK. Since it's a TV show, I assume there are dividers for each episode. If you right-click on a divider, you can copy the cast for just that section and paste it (append at the end). You can then click on the divider and while keeping the mouse pressed move it up the total cast list until it sits where it should be. Next, delete the original divider with the incomplete cast below it.

EDIT: on second reading, I think I misread your question. I now understand you copied the lists but want to add individual credits to them. Just enter them, left-click on your entry and hold (keep the left mouse button pressed), and move it up until it sits where it should be.

Hope this helps!

Also, in edit mode, you can select any actor or crew member from the available list on the left, and drag it to the desired position on the right.

This is a lot faster as adding it to the end and then draging it to the desired position.

Thanks Chris. 
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I've been doing this for a while and the only problem I have encountered is in the Cast section. I find if I drag/drop to insert cast it causes a fault when I try to do the same in Crew (the crew lists jump up and down and you can't add anything). I have to save what I've done on the cast and then go back in to do the crew.

I really wished I had tried this or knew of it before editing all those Tales from the Crypt season sets. That 'drag up and drop in place' took forever.

Yep, it's an amazing trick. I only discovered this in one of the other posts not too long ago.

I know the feeling bigdaddyhorse. Before I learned this trick, I was often copying the cast and crew to notepad, and cut and paste there.

Thank God those days are over
