@ThiloteE

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.

  1. Select multiple entries
  2. Click
    • "entry type" here:
      image
    • OR right-click on the selected entries and choose "change entry type"
  3. Choose an entry type. E.g. article

Expected outcome:

All entries should have become "article".

Actual outcome:

Only one entry (the first entry) has switched its entry type and has become "article"

Describe the solution you'd like
Change the entry type for all entries, when multiple entries are selected.

Additional context:

  • Apparently this was working in an older version of JabRef
  • This issue was first raised in the forum here
