JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

JabRef 5.7--2022-06-27--586d3e4 Linux 4.19.0-20-amd64 amd64 Java 18.0.1 JavaFX 18+12

Checked with the latest development build

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

With a group selected:

  • when an new entry is created by pasting a DOI in the entry editor, this new entry is added to the group.
  • when an new entry is created by clicking on the new entry icon, this new entry is NOT added to the group.

This is inconsistent. Since the user decided to select a specific group beforehand, I believe the entry should be added to the group in all cases.

To reproduce these 2 behaviors;

  1. Open a library with groups (such as https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/main/src/test/resources/testbib/jabref-authors.bib)
  2. Select one group
  3. Paste a DOI (such as 10.1016/j.jmsy.2021.09.011) in the entry editor
    ==> The entry is added to the selected group
  4. Click on the New article icon
  5. Fill the fields
  6. Close the entry editor
    ==> The entry is not added to the group
