Alphabetical Blocks in "Qualifikationslisten" of the Austran State Archive are suddenly restricted
Unfortunately aDocument that I have already consulted in the past and have taken notes from, is now unavailablie for undisclosed reasons.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TR-5Q2G-J?cat=80948&i=499&lang=en
I will describe the way how to navigate to it:
On Page https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/80948?availability=Family%20History%20Library
there is an Entry-Point to access the Mikrofiches that represent the so called"Qualifikationslisten" oft he Austrian Hungarian Army.
If you jump to page 8 of this alphabetical List you find the Entry-Link tot he Mikrofiches the Names form "Gabriel, Albert Otto" onwards until "Gabriel Theodor"
As shown below, the Section oft he Names starting with „Gabriel, Albert Otto“ and endig before „Gabriel Theodor“ has – in opposite to the most oft he recordgroups e.ge. the sections before and after the restricted one – additional restrictions, which are not explained.
Could you please tell me the reason fort the additional restrictions, if they really apply to the document (G. K. born 1876-09-24) and how to overcome them (again).
Thank you in advance and best regards
Even the Family-Search report agrees that this must be a mistake, but they could not help further but directing me to this Page.

Hello xxx, Thank you for contacting FamilySearch regarding DGS 7683819. It does not make sense that just a few films out of hundreds alphabetically would be restricted. There are two ways to get your message to the cataloging department to ask them to check the restriction on this film.First, click the Feedback button on the right hand side of this catalog page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/koha:80948. After clicking Feedback, choose an emoji, and in the text box that appears cite the film numbers that seem to be out of sync.Second, post the same message here: https://community.familysearch.org/en/categories/search Sincerely,
FamilySearch Support

@Gerhard145 In DGS 7683819 the RMS metadata date range is 1902 to 1958, which is likely the cause of the restriction. The film has one screen with the year 1958 which I believe is not in reference to the dates on the records:
I have submitted this DGS and seven others from this collection to our metadata team to review and update the date ranges. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.
