[Jabref-users] Issue: Shorttitle field and key generation for custom entry type

[Oliver M. <ben...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am using the OSCOLA Bibtex package, which contains a custom entry type
JURISDICTION. One of the fields is called ‚Shorttitle‘, which is meant to be
a shorter version of ’Title’. 

When I am trying to use the bibtex key generator pattern [Shorttitle][date][institution]
this results in a key that contains the first three words of ‚Title‘ rather than containing
‚Shorttitle‘.

Example:

@Jurisdiction{BrecklandGroupHoldings1989,
  Title                    = {Breckland Group Holdings v London and Suffolk Properties},
  Date                     = {1989},
  Journaltitle             = {BCLC},
  Options                  = {year-essential=true},
  Pages                    = {100},
  Pagination               = {[]},
  Shorttitle               = {Breckland v London and Suffolk Properties}
}

As you can see, the automatically generated key contains ‚Group Holdings‘ while the
Shorttitle does not.

What can I do?

Thanks!
