Movie box set profiles are, per the rules, mostly empty. They contain virtually no data pertaining to the movies included in the set - all that data appears only in the set's child profiles. One of the fields I've never used on a movie box set parent profile is the "Original Title" field: as the profile doesn't track any movie(s), but just the empty box, I don't think it that it has an original title. Am I right or wrong? I'll give an example:

Original Title: Ace Ventura Collection
Original Title: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective / Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

Again, of course the child profiles have original titles - that's without question. But does the otherwise empty parent profile get an original title as well? And if so: since that's always going to be more than one title, is there a consensus on how to format that, exactly?

OK, the case is about Ace Ventura, it's a double Feature and the German Title of it is like on Frontcover Ace Ventura and the two German Titles of the two included films, also on Frontcover:

Ace Ventura: Ein tierischer Detektiv / Ace Ventura: Jetzt wird's wild

I believe now, that we can also put the Originaltitle as follows in this parent profile:

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective / Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
or better
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective / When Nature Calls

Is this really wrong in a parent profile to put the Original Titles??

Thanks,

Fritz

I don't believe that it serves a purpose since "The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title.". Notice what I put in bold, it says nothing about box titles. But it's yet another area where the rules don't expressively forbid it so I guess we are stuck in a deadlock as usual.

Yes, because the title for the box set is well, just a title just for the box set. Box set doesn't have an original title.

Kulju has it right
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

The example given here to discuss is a double feature in a 2 disc Box Set.
As there are child profiles, i think there is no need for original titles in the main Box Set profile.

But in case the double feature is on a single disc, and the Box Set profile has all other information like crew and cast, the original titles should be entered in the profile too.
