Stage Play Format added for Specials?

Hi Max!
I hope this makes sense. I added "Stage Play" as a format which it seems shows up on the drop down menu for when you're adding a drama, but it doesn't appear under the formats for when adding a Special, as only the radio buttons for "Web" and "None" are visible. I wondered if it's possible to get "Stage Play" added as a format for when adding a Special. I took a screenshot to show where exactly I want to be able to select it under the format section on the Add Special page.
Let me know if you have any more questions :) Thanks!

Cat Hi Cat!
Thanks for flagging this and for sending the screenshot, it's helpful for context.
This is actually working as intended, not a bug. I had to double-check the specifics myself, but this aligns exactly with the initial requirements Duong and I discussed for the "Format" field.
You can see our full conversation in this feature request thread:
To summarize the key decision from that thread:
Formats like Primetime, Asadora, Yorudora, Shorts, Taiga, and Late-night were defined to be exclusive to Dramas.
For Specials and Movies, the only format options intended to be available are "Web" and "None".
This is why you only see the "Web" and "None" radio buttons on the Add Special page - the other formats, including "Stage Play," are deliberately restricted to the Drama post type.
I hope this clears things up! If Duong would like to revisit this logic and have "Stage Play" available for Specials as well, that would be a new feature request separate from the original task.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Max Romanchenko There's some unusual cases where Stage Plays are now being aired on TV, these do not exactly fit the "Drama" or "Movie" post type since Stage Plays more closely resemble Specials.
But there's Specials that are made for TV movies. We'd like to expand the Specials format so it includes "Stage Plays" since the format is similar.

Amrayu78 Hi Duong,
Great, thanks for the clarification!
I didn't see "Stage Play" in the list of formats in the admin panel, it's possible Cat might have deleted it.
I've already re-created the "Stage Play" format and added it as a new radio button option in the form for Specials. This should now be live and working.
Let me know if you see anything else.
Thank you.
