I am using JabRef version 4.4-dev--snapshot--2018-06-01--master--26bb54598 on Ubuntu 16.04

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable the Preferences/General/Mark new entries with addition date. (I am using yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm as format but my guess is that's not relevant). Additionally, mark the overwrite option.
  2. Drag'n'drop a file onto the entry table and let the importer do its work.
  3. Notice a new entry that has no timestamp field set and mourn.

(I have not tested a manual import via the file menu yet and have to run...)

Also, I would love to see the addition marking enabled by default and the default format to include a time in addition to the date. They work way better than the "marking" options to recognize newly added references. Cheers.
