2 years ago We could do something like:
- There are two columns (like it is currently): column 1 for database info and column 2 for user info.
- The first column's fields are displayed in greyed-out text boxes.
- There's an "Edit" button next to each greyed-out text box. Clicking on it adds a white text box above the greyed-out text box. The white text box is editable and will be the one displayed in the tables.
- There's a "Delete" button next to each white text box. Clicking on it removes the manual field so the entry will now just display info from the greyed-out text box.

This makes it easier to trace changes when we want to periodically update the database data in the future. For users, we'll want to preserve their edits but having, e.g., the diff of the database data alongside their edits as separate fields lets them know when they can just remove their manually edited fields.
Example. You manually update an entry's year from tba to 2022. Later the database updates the year properly. Now you can remove that year addition as it appears in the database's default fields.
