I’m trying to submit the studio Black Sod. This is a subsidiary of SOD Create. When when I put “SOD Create” in the network field, it doesn’t appear in the results.
I looked at the GraphQL query stashdb is sending, and I noticed that the query specifies has_parent: false. So it’s only searching for top level studios. SOD Create is itself a subsidiary of the Soft On Demand network, so this is why it doesn’t show up in the results.
Is this intended? What should I do in this scenario? Submit Black Sod as a direct subsidiary of Soft On Demand? Or edit SOD Create to be a top-level studio?
Multi-level studio hierachy is not supported by stash-box at the moment. I could have sworn there was a feature request for it, but I can’t find it at the moment.
I usually leave studio unattached to any network if there is complicated hierachy that can’t be accurately represented by existing structure. This way it can be corrected in the future once stash-box adds new features.
For JAV specifically it’s more complicated as far as I understand as there are labels and studios to consider. I’m not familiar with the nuances, so I’ll let others clarify that.
As it stands, it’s probably best to use SOD Create as the studio for all labels under it. The only exception we have right now on StashDB is SODVR.
If you want to have the labels in Stash, Javstash has them as they elected to have SOD Create as a parent studio instead. Names are in Japanese, but you can alias them without too much effort.
