UseCase012 - Associating Artist to Release

Initiating actor: Logged-In Admin

The goal of this use case is to link a musical release to its primary creator/s within the database. By establishing this relationship, the administrator ensures that the album or single is correctly attributed to the right artist/s, allowing the system to display the release on the artist's profile and enabling users to find the music through artist-based searches.

Scenario

1. Admin selects a specific Release that currently lacks an assigned creator or requires a metadata update.

2. Admin searches for and selects the appropriate Artist from the existing database records.

3. System verifies the unique identifiers for both the release_id and the artist_id.

4. System creates or updates the "has" relationship, effectively linking the Artist to the Release in the database.

5. System validates the connection to ensure the release now appears under the artist's discography.

6. System confirms the successful association to the admin and updates the public-facing release page to display the artist_name.
