Can you supply some specific titles? At a guess, the current mess with Diamond Bankruptcy may have something to do with it.

PS While issues before (about) May 1977 may have other distributing methods like the direct market, it was decided to have a cutoff date. the earlier issues are left as (mostly) 'Whitman' variants for the ones that where sold at other places besides the traditional Newsstand stores.

Currently, the way CB is set up, when both Direct and Newsstand issues exist, the plain numbered issue is the Direct edition (i.e. 1) and the Newsstand has the NS variation (i.e 1/NS). It there is only a Direct edition OR only a Newsstand edition, it is just a plain number (i.e. 1). When first set up, CB added Newsstand Edition to the 'Item Description' column. So far, CB has been 'mass changed' to add NS Issues for Marvel and DC (from about May 1977 through Oct 2017) In generally, I would NOT use the DM variation (or change to using the DM variation) if CB does not already have it (some older issues may have use DM when there was some 'feature' that made using DM make sense at the time. Now it would not be used. As for the cover scans, they are 'linked' to the issue by the Item #. So if you change the Item #, you would have to open the picture folder for that title and rename the cover scan to match the change.

PS if you care, there is both a Direct variant (#SE 1) and a Newsstand variant (SE 1/NS). I found it by typing the Newsstand barcode into the Find box at the top of the window.

If Publishers can mess with straightforward database cataloging, they will. I am neither for nor against whatever Title is decided. I merely supply information.

I found this indicia for the issue: Milk & Bone Custom Comic is a strange title as a search for Milk-Bone probably wouldn't find it.

Yes, it looks like it corrected the Title. The Report is a little confusing because it is a one-pass process. By this I mean the update process that added/updated/deleted issues processed and found License to Kill 1 and 'flagged' it in the report. Later in the process it found the misnamed Title and corrected it and also noted it in the report. So the report lists both events even though the second event (Title name change) corrected the first event. It should really be a two-pass process but that would require running the entire Update twice and for most situations, this would be much longer processing time for the few rare occasions this may happen.

You are correct. Each Type would have its own Import and can not be combined. However, It if did import a Magazine into Comic Books, you can use Edit->Change Series Media Type to move it to Magazine (or whatever type you need). You can edit the Title information to correct the Publisher, also.
