citation key generator gives no date in the key for In-* entries (crossref) #9071

Description

@RJDan

JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Ubuntu 22.04, Swaywm 17, JabRef 5.8--2022-08-15--f7648e8 via snap

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

The citation key generator gives no date in the key for In-* entries which get the date value from a crossref.

I need to manually add the date to the entry to get an [Author][Date] citation key.

I would like a way to have the generator pull the [Date] value from the crossref entry.
Something like :
[Author][Date:From-Mary99]

which should give the key Author99
