How do you report a film that needs to be reindexed?

Film 004480383 is horribly indexed as nearly ever page of records the christening dates are off by a couple hundred years....the time period is in the 1700's and some of the pages have 1900 dates...or worse. This is a Durango Mexico film and every now and then the priest put the whole date but even those pages the indexer did it wrong.....can you put a message alert on this film to say the christening dates have been indexed incorrectly, until you get it done right??????? I could not locate a feedback spot on this film to send this note.

    @nymeyer2 It appears the DGS 4480383 for the Durango records have been placed in Search> Images but have not been through an initial indexing pass - the new 'edit every field' indexing app (or at least not completely - the image I randomly checked was unindexed).

    I learned something new today:

    In the meantime, the Name, Date and Place fields are editable in the older viewer - the following record for example:

    This will migrate the data to the new 'edit every field' indexing app - where a fuller transcription for the record is transcribable (I would just recommend going slowly to become familiar with the new editor).

    Happy Easter!
