I'm for Always empty / Not be included.
The box sets are made in the country were they will be sold (most of the time).
Only CoO for the movies inside.

Almost all of my boxes seem to be made in Mexico. 

It's a silly piece of information for a cardboard box.  It should just be at the child level, IMHO.

Well, we DO use some information from the child level in box set profiles.

The Rules for box sets say:

Quote:
Production Year Production Year for a Box Set should be the year of the earliest feature release in the set.

Running Time Use the combined running time of all the films in the Box Set; do not include running time of any extra features.

As to the CoO I am in doubt, as sometimes it's different for each movie in the set. I say: leave it blank, or use the CoO of ALL the features if they all have the the same CoO.

If all the features are from the same CoO, I see no harm in including it for the box as well, otherwise leave it empty imho

I think it's about time this rule

Maybe it would be an idea if box set profiles had non editable fields and the fields that where there auto filled in from the child profiles  this would stop people trying to submit info that is not put in the profile and would also save the contribution's team a lot of unnecessary work.

The problem with this is when people set up TV series as boxsets you should be entering the data in the boxset as well as the child profiles, however submitting the child profiles is perfectly allowable.

Generally agreed except that it should be made clear that the production company of the boxset (ie the DVD distributor) is applicable to the parent profile, as is any booklet etc included in the Features that isn't part of the individual child profiles.

Yes, you're right. An additional line to make this clear would certainly help.

i also voted for always empty.

and while we're at it, can Video Formats be re-instated into the list of info not to include in box sets in the rules:

"In addition to the above, the following are not included on the box set profile: Subtitles, Audio & Disc Features. List them with the individual profiles."

...if that is still the case. Since this has fallen out i'm getting endless updates adding the video formats back into the parent profiles.

thanks to the academy, my parents...(his parents? what did they ever do for you?), my second cousin on my sister's side of the family, and the great and powerful Thor...
