Br. Samuel: It appears to me, based on your question, that you are not using
the correct BibTeX type and you may not be using the fields correctly.
For chapters in edited books I use the BibTeX type @incollection, not
@inbook. (In fact I have never had an occasion to use @inbook; for an
argument against @inbook see below.)
When I want to put multiple chapters from the same book into a BibTeX
database, I first add the whole book as an item of BibTeX type @book. Then I
select that item in the publication list and use the "New Publication with
Crossref" command (keyboard shortcut: option-command-N) to create a new item
that is a chapter in that book. Then I change the BibTeX type of the new
item to @incollection. Then I copy the title field to the booktitle field.
(This could be automated with AppleScript, but I just do it manually.) Then
I put the chapter title in the title field. Then I add the page numbers in
the pages field. The chapter number (NOT the title of the chapter) would go
in the chapter field (although I almost never add the chapter number).
As you can see if you are following what I am saying, an item's title ALWAYS
goes in the title field, whether it is a chapter title, book title, thesis
title, etc. So if you include the title field as a column in BibDesk's
publication list, it will always show the title of any item, regardless of
its BibTeX type.
For an argument against @inbook, see Jukka Suomela's answer to the question
