JabRef version 4.3.1
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Have an entry in the database in which the first author name is written using the BibTeX extended name format, for example:
@InProceedings{Hasselt2016,
author = {family=Hasselt, given=Hado P., prefix=van useprefix=false and Guez, Arthur and Hessel, Matteo and Mnih, Volodymyr and Silver, David},
title = {Learning Values across Many Orders of Magnitude},
booktitle = {Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems},
date = {2016},
pages = {4287--4295},
url = {http://papers.nips.cc/paper/6076-learning-values-across-many-orders-of-magnitude},
urldate = {2017-06-07}
}
- Under Options > Preferences > BibTeX key generator, use a key format that mentions the author name (for example, the default one
[auth][year]);
- Use the Autogenerate BibTeX keys funcionality of JabRef.
Expected behavior: the generated bibtexkey would be something like Hasselt2016 or vanHasselt2016.
Actual behavior: the generated bibtexkey is actually 2016, ignoring the author's name.
Additional info: The BibTeX extended name format is somewhat described in section 3.8 of the Biber manual.
