2) Click "new" and add some information
3) Click "ok" and then "insert".
4) Rick-Click on the rescently created entry > "Bibliography entry..."
5) Click on "Edit" add additional information. Then click "ok" and "apply".


Actual Results:
Bibliography Entry is not updated. It displays the initial entered details upon creation.

Expected Results:
The updated information at the Bibliography entry should be stored.


Reproducible: Always

win8x64 have same bug since 6.3.0.4
Comment 4 Dieter 2019-09-12 12:01:26 UTC
Does it happen with odt-files or only with doc(x) format. If this is the case, it could be a duplicate of bug 105367.
Comment 5 George Politis 2019-09-12 12:24:10 UTC
I "saved as" my (Word 2007-365) docx file to odt file and it has the same issue regarding adding new attributes to the bibliography entry.
In fact not only I cannot update my bibliography entry but during the convertion the type changed from WWW document to Article and the URL attribute was deleted.

Seems relevant to bug 105367.

I confirm it with

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: f0c832acb53326ccc9a8c1a47401fbc9e1081feb
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-09-11_05:46:53
Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

but not with

Version: 6.2.5.2 (x64)
Build ID: 1ec314fa52f458adc18c4f025c545a4e8b22c159
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

After pressing "Apply" LO asks for confirmation of changing the entry. This doesn't happen in master.
