Classical Citation Dialog Columns

JGebauer

I use the classical view occasionally to change reference - it seems to be the only way to change the cited item without losing the locator.

This happens quite frequently when I have quoted from a multiple volume publication, and want to change from the separate volumes to the complete volumes items or vice versa.

However, as default the volume field is not displayed. It can be activated but doesn't stick. Can this column choice be made sticky?

The classic citation dialog isn’t likely to be updated. What exactly do you mean “ it seems to be the only way to change the cited item without losing the locator”?

Anything I have entered in the field of the item dialog, locator, prefix, suffix fields will be lost if I change the item (book, article) itself in the new (red) item dialog.

By using the classic dialog these entries can be retained when the item is changed.
