I Imported a volume of NANA by Ai Yazawa, but because my file was named "NANA - Chapter 01" instead of "NANA - Vol 1" or similar, comicvine auto-matched it with some Spider-man book when I hit fetch. In general, no problem, I can correct it. But now, no matter what I do, I can't remove John Byrne, John Romita, etc, from the metadata fields for Penciller, inker, etc.

I can click on the X and remove them, but if I hit save, they come back. I think one time I might have gotten it to work by hitting the main X and then searching just for Ai Yazawa, which is why I have it as incredibly hard. But I tried this on a different field and it didn't work, so that might have been a fluke.

Some comic fields I can clear no problem, Grimmory no longer thinks spider-man is in this book, but it won't let go of John Byrne as penciller, no matter what I do.
