Editing conflicts suggestion

I recently edited some air dates on a series that only I have edited, no one else has, and it still locked the air dates saying there was an editing conflict. My suggestion is that you programmatically only count changes toward editing conflicts when it's a different user making the change. If the same user changes the field to correct her own mistakes then that isn't an editing conflict and it seems unnecessary to lock the fields.
In my case, the first time I added the episodes I left airdate blank (1). Then recently I added airdates to the episodes (2). Then immediately after that I had to correct most of them due to a mistake (3). At that point it counted it as 3 edits and locked all of the airdates due to an "editing conflict" even though I'm the only one who has been editing them.

That is a good suggestion, do you still need me to correct some or is it fine now ?

Everything is good for now, thanks. :)

Just to clarify, by what you're saying, it would go like this:

Person #1 edits airdate - Conflict count = 1

Person #1 edits airdate again - Conflict count = 1

Person #2 edits airdate - Conflict count = 2

Person #1 reverts edit - Conflict count = 3

Also, would/should person #1 be able to edit it after the last one, considering they were the last user? (They may decide person #2 was in fact right and change it back)

There is no person #2 in this case Gazza, he was referring to himself making several mistakes, but being blocked from editing when he wants to correct them as the section has been edited for over three times by himself only.

In my example, I didn't increment the conflict count until "person #2" edited it (the first two done by person #1 have the same conflict count)

Yeah

Good point. I don't see why not.

I miffed multiple airdates all by one week but that was only one mistake per episode. The first time I left the dates blank on purpose because I didn't know the airdates yet. But that still counts as one edit apparently.

I second this idea of only incrementing the count if a new person is changing the info + if the count is 3 en you're the last person that has edited that field, you can still edit it yourself! :-)
