Major error: miscategorized churchbook - Kunow, Pomerania, Prussia

In attaching the following record to a source: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6Z6Q-3K3M, I noticed that the default location was "Kunow, Randow, Pommern, Preußen, Deutschland". However, after reviewing the actual churchbook images, I realized the location should be "Kunow, Kammin, Pommern, Preußen, Deutschland". In fact, the header for the image reads "Deutschland, Preußen, Pom..., Kirchenbücher 1544-1945 Pommern Cammin [Kammin] Evangelische Kirche Kunow ", which is correct. The Randow location is hundreds of miles away. Yet, all of the records which are being attached to this film are being misdirected to the Randow location. You need to change the default location for records attached to this film, as well as to correct the locations for any records previously attached. (I fixed this one record, but all the rest are still uncorrected).
