no, that's what crossref does.
I need to move a group of references into Bookends, which cannot

the crossref feature. I have exported a group of refs into a
separate Bib
file, and would like to break the links there (so that I keep them
in my
original BibDesk bib). Once each child has all its inherited info,

move them into Bookends.
Any help would be appreciated--paper due tomorrow.
Thanks,

There is currently no built-in way to make inherited information
permanent. However you could use AppleScript to do that. Try the
script below (not tested).
Christiaan
tell front document of application "BibDesk"
set thePubs to get publications
repeat with thePub in thePubs
set theFields to get fields of thePub
repeat with theField in theFields
if inherited of theField then
set value of theField to (get value of theField)
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
