Description aldracu 2019-11-16 19:14:57 UTC
1. insert bibliography entry, choose "from document content", click "New"
2. fill-in the short name and type
3. click OK then Insert.

Now you have a bibliography entry. If you want to modify it (like fill-in a new field) it doesn't work:
1. right-click on the bibliography entry created above
2. choose "bibliography entry" from the menu
3. click edit and fill-in a new field or modify an already filled-in one.
4. click OK, click Apply.

At this point your modifications should be saved in the entry, but in fact, they are ignored.
Comment 1 aldracu 2019-11-17 17:06:24 UTC
to whomever marked this bug as UNCONFIRMED: do you use LibreOffice? (I assume you use it, otherwise you shouldn't be involved in administrating the bugs.) If yes, can you confirm it or, on the contrary, you can edit a bibliography entry and the  changes are preserved?
Comment 2 Timur 2019-11-17 19:23:38 UTC
Thank you for reporting.
You cannot confirm your own bug, so Unconfirmed was a correction of mistake.
And please do not remove See Also bug. It's somewhat related and useful.

I now confirm with master LO 6.5+. No repro 6.2. Regression from 6.3.
