Hello, I attached a document, in this document are two bibliography references (Test 1 and Test 2). Then, if you want to delete one of them in the window that insert a bibliography, you can't because this option doesn't exist.
Then the only option is to keep adding references because you cannot delete the wrong references.

I confirm, that it is not possible to delete bibliography entry in "Edit Bibliography Entry" dialog. You can easily delete it using the navigator in the sidebar or just by deleting the text. So personally I don't see the need for such an option. But let's decide design-team

And you can delete with the Delete or Backspace key in the document. I don't understand the need to manipulate the document content from the edit field dialog. IOW, Insert > Field > Page Number - or any other - do you expect there further operations beyond editing the appearance? What makes the BE so special?
