Is there a way to fix a divorce record that has been indexed as a marriage record?

Roy Halson Griffiths L2W6-94L has a record hint for a divorce record that has been transcribed as a marriage record. There is no way to change marriage to divorce in the edit, so I tried to edit by removing the date instead, since a divorce record does indicate a marriage. I tried clicking feedback to report this and the green feedback doesn’t work. I finally decided to attach the record anyway, without adding the “marriage” and then edit the source title. Is there a better way to do this? 


Here is a link to the image on the film, found by using document information:

It looks as if most of the records on this film are marriage records so it isn’t a big thing, but probably still needs to be reported.  Also, this might be an idea for others with similar problems.

    @RIPoole; you've asked if there is a way to fix this divorce record that has been indexed as a marriage record.

    Unfortunately, there is no practical way to re-index this record. It does appear that you have successfully attached the divorce to the record for Roy Halson Griffiths (L2W6-94L). You may have had to alter the title of the Source, when it was attached, but it appears to clearly indicate that this is a divorce record. So, well done!
