Could it be possible to either link to the albums a boxed set release includes, or to inherit the tracklist and lineup from said releases instead of adding it under "disc notes"?

Similar suggestion : For vinyl releases on multiple discs (such as https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/B ... i/10201430) is it possible to add a total running time for the release, rather than just display the running times of each disc seperately?

A problem I see with the first request is that not all discs in a boxed set are a previously released album (collections of rare tracks, for example, are quite common). So you will still need the ability to add tracklist/lineup/etc. manually, even alongside albums that inherit those attributes automatically.

There could just be an option to inherit the data from another album in that case.
