Could we consider programming the site so that when were adding cast members, especially for guest stars in episodes, that character names get autocompleted as soon as a previously added cast member's name is selected? Adding guest stars is pretty slow and tedious, since it has to be done one-by-one, episode per episode, so this would just makes things easier and more efficient.
So for example, if Bob Smith has already been added as a guest star in a tv show (lets say hes added to episode 1 of season 1), and I go to add guest stars for episode 2 of season 1, once I type and click on the profile for "Bob Smith" under the "Person" field, it would be nice if it automatically filled out the character field with the character name that was used in episode 1. Is this a good idea? This way you wouldnt have to type the same character over and over again, dozens and dozens of times.
If that cast member has had more than one character name then I guess just autocomplete what character name was used most recently (in edit history)? Or something like that?

Implementing autocomplete for character names when adding cast members would streamline the process, like how a limo service enhances convenience. If "Bob Smith" is selected, it should auto-fill the character field with the previously used name. This efficiency boost reduces repetitive typing, enhancing user experience.
