How to bulk fix wrong year in a metric book?
There are two metrical books for the same place and year. One is a copy of another and has a typo in the year made by a copier 200 years ago. Both are indexed, and thus the very same records differ by one year. While searching, you never know what result you're getting.
How to bulk fix the index for one book? Too many records to do it manually.
If it's hard to do in the database directly, is there an API available?

Correct book lists 1819

Incorrect one says 1818 in the header of the 1st page (the title page, one page before says 1819 correctly)

Check indexes for both to see they are the same records.

Hi @DmitriyBryndin. On one of those links, click the feedback button on the left side. Choose an emoji and then please copy your post there. As I understand it, there's something of a backlog for correcting errors, but they'll get to it eventually.

@GFre I would, except the "feedback" button is broken and was like that for a while. No idea what to do about it, nor how to report bugs. Any ideas are welcome.
There is another bug I want to report, but with "feedback" being broken and no bug-reporting system, I just posted it here on this forum, hoping devs will see it.

@GFre I saw your other reply, it's indeed the ad blocker.
I see the call to sentry.io, and it seems to be blocked. I bet the same is happening to most of the users.
