JabRef version
Latest development branch build (please note build date below)
Operating system
Other (please describe below)
Details on version and operating system
OS independent
Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Custom entry types
I changed the "Author" field to multiline for the "Article" entry type in preferences.
After restarting JabRef, the "Author" field became multiline for all entry types, even though it should only apply to "Article".
Now, when I try to change the "Author" field back to a single line by unchecking the option and restarting, nothing happens. To remove the multiline setting, I have to update it for all entry types.
Does Reset to default work?
No, it doesn’t. It only resets the selected entry type, the "Article", but the "Author" field is still marked as multiline in other entry types. So, when saving, it remains multiline because of those other types.
