How to add featured artist credit to a track?

I just did my first addition of a release to MusicBrainz. I think all went well except that I couldn’t figure out how to add the feat. artist to the one track that has one, even after reading Artist Credits - MusicBrainz . Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lee

Just enter it in the join phrase as it is printed on the release. So, if it says “feat.” use that, or “featured”, etc. Whatever is printed. I don’t think it’s a rule, but seems to be the norm for the recording to be credited as it appears on physical releases over digital media, if possible. But of course, digital is fine if that’s all there is.

Just posted this gif for a similar question recently, perhaps it will help?

(but enter ’ feat. ’ into the join phrase box - note the spaces to either side!)

If you are updating a release you have already created, remember to check ‘update track name/artist’ in the ‘recordings’ tab of the release editor, after you change the tracklist.
