Sorry, I’m new to Jabref.
I discovered that after generating citation keys for cross-referenced entries, the citation keys of those entries won’t update synchronously in the crossref fields they respectively refer to. Are there any easier ways to solve it instead of changing the citation keys manually after the generation? Although I know this doesn’t happen very often, but just in case.
Could you please open this as an issue on Github and then link it to? Work on Crossref has been a little stale in recent years, meanwhile quite a few Crossref related issues have been identified. Once somebody starts working on Crossref again, there is a high chance your issue will be fixed too, as not having this automated seems really annoying.
At crossref workflow improvements · Issue #6294 · JabRef/jabref · GitHub an option to make content of certain fields inheritable from parent to child entry is called for. What you seem to call for is not a one-way sync from parent to child, but a two-way sync instead.
