This is not an issue with jellyseerr. Tmdb is missing the external id (tvdbid). You need to go add it in tmdb (it's open source).

I created a support ticket to resolve the misclassifcation issue on TMDB here.

I didn't see any sort of "Suggest an edit section" and I believe I can only suggest/add new series/movies.

You can edit the external ids of shows once you login. You need to press edit. I have added external ids like that to many shows as well

Tmdb is open source. You don't suggest an edit. You can edit. Let me check this show

Thanks for pointing this out.

The correct series is here

I'm not sure why on my end I can't edit the external ID's.

I also see a potential issue from the way TVDB decided to categorize the series compared to other databases.
I'm not sure what other API Jellyseerr uses but the TVDB decided to designate it as a seperate series compared to IMDB and thetvdb. More information here.

Looking at sonarr.ts under api, correct me if I'm wrong, but jellyseerr submits a request to add a new series based on the TVDB id?

If my presumption is correct, then just the TVDB ID needs to be updated for the series in TMDB?

I always thought this was based on series title.

Yes tvdbid. Not title. Because series title can be different for the same series in different databases

Jellyseerr uses tmdb. Gets the tvdbid. Sends it to sonarr using tvdbid. Because sonarr uses tvdb. And tmdb and tvdb doesn't always agree on seasons/episode order even if something is a seperate series or another season

But we have a PR to add optional tvdb api support for series open rn.
