It's quite apparent that it's just a typo, but what is the correct procedure for getting it fixed if you can't edit it ?

    Yep, been asked ...

    Without the index being currently editable and a reindex 'not an option' - you can post it here - but it won't change until it becomes editable (I don't think I have seen any report edited - I guess they just keep a collection tally or something - I don't know how they keep track) - or the AI autoindexer has its pass run over it.

    Best I've heard you can attach it in the Tree and add a note about the needed correction ... sweep, sweep ...

    But you can Thank the Indexer!

    I was going to thank the indexer, but I was concerned that in this case it might seem like a dig. They do sterling work and sometimes it's extremely perplexing so they deserve praise not criticism. In the case of this record I'd rather say nothing than make it seem like I don't appreciate the effort. I've probably made more typos than they have by a long margin. Hopefully somebody with edit access might notice this and make the correction.
