      Try seeding the editor with this seed data missing the first track's details

      <html>
      <body>
      <form action="http://test.musicbrainz.org/release/add" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="name" value="Test"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="artist_credit.names.0.name" value="Chad"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="mediums.0.format" value="CD"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="mediums.0.position" value="0"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="mediums.0.track.1.name" value="Track1"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="mediums.0.track.1.artist_credit.names.0.name" value="Chad2"/>

      <input type="hidden" name="mediums.0.track.2.name" value="Track1"/>
      <input type="hidden" name="mediums.0.track.2.artist_credit.names.0.name" value="Chad2"/>

      <input type="submit" name="seed_it"/>
      </form>
      </body>
      </html>

      The tracklist as parsed ends up as

      1. - Chad - Chad
      2. Track1 - Chad2
      3. Track1 - Chad2

      Is there a better way to handle this so that track 1 has an empty artist and title, thus forcing user to manually enter it? This will help handle the "add cluster as release" case where the user perhaps doesn't have all the tracks of a release.

      The workaround is for whatever is seeding the editor to send blank values, but this causes other issues at the moment, which I'll create a separate issue for.
