I finished Magia Record awhile back, but I've had this glitch where it keeps moving it back into my watching with seen episodes left as "?" How do I fix this? :(

I looked at your profile and noticed that you were trying to add the wrong Magia Record to your list. The one in your list is a short special, not the TV show. That special has an unknown amount of episodes in the anime database, so the number of episodes will always be shown as ?.

Here is the link to the proper Magia Record: Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica Gaiden (TV)

I have the same problem with only one manga, which would be this:https://myanimelist.net/manga/116987, Whenever I put 'complete', it goes back to 'planning to read', and it only works if I put 'reading', but if I put that I read any number of chapters, it goes back to 0 ..

Same thing happened to me. I can't add a specific manga. I'll see if he's on the list.

maybe it's because the anime is still airing. you can't complete an anime that isn't completed itself. if an anime is finished airing, then it's probably a bug.

I currently have the same issue with the anime "Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san OVA " that it's called on MAL. I tried everything, from deleting the anime from my list (then set it back to complete directly after), setting it to complete multiple times from it's watching state. But every time, 1 day (or hours) later it comes back to the watching list again. This has been bothering me for the last week. Thanks in advance for the help

I have been experiencing this today and yesterday, but with a movie:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/37055/Youjo_Senki_Movie

It's listed as finished airing, aired over a year ago, but It keeps readding itself back to my list, at 0/1 episodes watched, despite still showing me watching that 1 episode, 1 day and 110 minutes ago. Anyone know a solution? Happened 3 times so far.

Something similar keeps happening to me but with the fate series, for whatever reason multiple shows of the fate series that I've already set to completed keep automatically switching to watching (yes they finished airing already) but it doesn't do it immediately if I set it to completed in 1 day and half it will turn back to watching and idk why I seriously hate this cause it's one of my favorite series and it keeps screwing up my mal badges.

Which entries? And do they keep going back to watching every day?

Fate/Grand Carnival is actually not done yet, the entry says the last episode will air on Sept 29th. After that the status will be changed to completed and then the entry won't re-appear in your watching list.

This other Fate/Grand Order entry is a bit special, the synopsis says "Assorted commercials and collaborations for the Fate/Grand Order mobile RPG."
Since there will still be more commercials that can be added to the entry, it's currently set as airing.
If you don't want it to be moved back to your watching list I recommend setting it as "on-hold".
