Hi Joost,

I don't have 'type' as an optional field.

Yes, I think it does happen consistently.  At least it happens with both
master thesis entries in the bibliography I'm working on currently.  If
I delete the type field from the .bib file, then save the bibliography
from ebib after making a change (say to a keyword field), the type field
appears again in the bib file.

All the best,
Tom
