Ubuntu 16.04

• I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. create a Proceedings entry Foo2019

@Proceedings{Foo2019,
  title  = {Foo Conference},
  date   = {2019},
}

2. create an InProceedings entry Bar2019 with crossref to Foo2019

@Proceedings{Bar2019,
  title  = {Bar Paper},
  crossref = {Foo2019},
}

3. have a look at the Bar2019 row at the main table view

Observed behavior

The year field of the Bar2019 entry gets populated with the value from the Foo2019 entry.

Expected behavior

All fileds (esp. year and journal/booktitle) get populated with values obtained from the crossref'ed entry.

Explanation

According to the biblatex documentation (Appendix B), the booktitle field of an InProcessings entry inherits the value from the title field of the referenced Proceedings entry.
