Publisher Series: republished works with diff. series number can't be added

This is not really a bug, but something that just can't be added correctly at the moment.
Every work can only be added once to a certain series. But a lot of books have been republished with a new series number.
For example: Dummheit ist gefährlich has been published as "Scherz Krimi 221" and later under the title Mord im Spiegel oder Dummheit ist gefährlich as "Scherz Krimi 957".
At the moment we can only add one of them to the series "Scherz Krimi".

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

You can just adjust the label to reflect that the item is in two places.

The LibraryThing Series group is a good place for this discussion...

...assuming a broken feature isn't preventing series edits.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

(I misunderstood the problem. So no, I don't have a possible solution.)

As a side issue, series relationships between the existing lists with this book haven't yet been set.

Closing as not a bug.
