I don't know how other users feel about this, but I like to click on a title and immediately see who the cast are.  When I get to a boxset, clicking on the title I see no cast/crew listed, and have to expand to see any of this.  Is there a way in which DVDP can read this information from the child profiles and automatically display it for the parent?  As I'm sure there would be some people against this, such a feature should be optional (perhaps even to the level of distinguishing between UPC- and Disc ID-based boxsets).

No, there isn't.

What you want is contradicting the idea of parent / child profiles, i.e. storing the data relevant only to one movie of a box set in the corresponding child profile only.

It's been a tedious task to remove all the cast data formerly entered into parent profiles.

If you want to put everything contained in a box set in a single profile, download the children, move all data manually (copy & paste) to the parent profile, delete the children and

As long as it doesn't permanetly place that data in the parent profile and is kept optional, I think this is a great idea.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.
