Been away fighting an illness. Recovering now. Sure is fun and invigorating to come back and find the old crew still plugging away with probably one of the best pieces of application software ever written and the finest set of community supporters ever assembled!!!! 

Yes, same issue for me.

I'm sticking with iOS 26.7.1 for now. Better safe than sorry. I'll wait to upgrade until we get a more consistently positive review of iOS 27.

Gift from my brother.

That may be why people do it, but it doesn't follow the clearly stated rules.

Well, most of the contributors do it, just a few like primetime21 don't, and think they are right. Didn't you try to remove bonus materials from the main profile of a combo lately twice and it was rejected both times? I would think the checkers usually know what they are doing.

You're just completely talking without any logic--first you say it's 2 or 3 people, then I show you literally in this thread it's much more than that, then you say who cares about a poll (once you've been proven wrong), then you starting about some example in some run-on sentence that is nonsenical.  I also disagree with "most" of the remaining contributors putting everything into the parent profile--I only see you and 1 or 2 other people do it.  You're floundering here buddy and making no sense--grasping at straws and hypothethicals while others are pointing to the actual rules.

Yeah, well. Do you see European profiles/contributions? Do you see Asian or Australian profiles/contributions? I do. I buy releases from all over the world. You on the other hand don't seem to know much outside of the USA, if any.
I just see you and 1 or 2 other people trying to remove bonus materials. "Trying" because it usually gets rejected, whereas the addition goes through even with a few NO votes. But I see lots of combo profiles with bonus features that are only on the lesser medium. I see them added by different people. No one around here cares to remove them. To be honest, not many people even seem to care about child profiles for a lesser medium.

If you include Blu-ray features on the UHD profile, but exclude Blu-ray audio and subtitle tracks, the metadata becomes inconsistent, which defeats the purpose of a profiling system to begin with.  Although the child profile is optional, if the child profile is omitted, that’s just a user convenience choice, not a signal that the main profile should absorb the data.  There is no logical extension that since the child profile is optional all the information should go there.  There just isn't.

Let's try for beginners. There was a time when there was only one format in the case. Usually a DVD. Sometimes more if there were a lot of extras. This was a normal profile. Then there were more than one movie in a box, sometimes still on one disc. This was a box set, which required child profiles for each movie. And then came Combos. They weren't box sets at all. Just one movie on more than one medium. Sometimes there are different cuts, but it's still one movie. It doesn't make any sense not to include all features into the main and often only profile. These features all belong to the movie, not the format (4K/BD/DVD). Audio tracks and subtitles, in Europe runtime for DVD as well, on the other hand are specific to the medium. Therefore the details from the main medium go into the main profile, audio tracks and such for the lesser medium go into a child profile if one cares to add one.

About the optional childs. They are optional to create, or better, you are allowed to add a child to the database for the lesser medium or a different cut where you can enter the specific details like audio tracks. You can compare this to TV shows. They are usually profiled by season and everything goes into the main profile, but you are allowed to create child profiles on disc level if you care for them.
