Carl,

That's where I looked. And I searched the alphabetical list produced by the
combobox's down-arrow.

I had no idea I could enter a data type like this and JabRef would know what
to do with it.

I didn't see 'field:author/editor' but clicking on the '+' key added it to
the list.

Yep. Moved it just below the group and deleted the 'Author' column.

I had posted all issues and bugs on the mail list and was asked to post to
the devs on github. So I did. Since I did not see this column option in the
combobox I asked on github. This response now posted on both places.

Thanks,
