Consistency checks
Background consistency checks make sure that changes made to the metadata are logical. These ensure, for example, that the DeleteDate is after the BroadcastDate. If this is not the case, a dialogue appears. Similar checks are executed when applying a new DeleteDate or BroadcastDate in a bulk operation to multiple entries.
