          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 83613
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: EDITING: Text in bibliographic citation fields is not
                    editable
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.0 all versions
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

Text in bibliographic citation fields, if set to use the "short names" rather
than numbered entries, is automatically taken from the "identifier" attribute
of the <text:bibliography-mark> element. Although this element can and does
take character data content, the text content is ignored by LibreOffice, and is
in fact updated on saving the document to match the reference identifier
attribute (which is set in the user interface as "short name"). 

This behaviour is a problem if we want to display content other than the
reference key, notably in cases where we need to suppress the author's name in
an author-date citation. For example, if we have the keys [Smith 2012] and
[Smith 2013], we may need to create citations such as "Smith (2012, 2013) ..."
in addition to the basic citation "(Smith 2012)". Such formatting is not
currently possible. 

This problem may be resolved if (1) the bibliography-mark element content is
displayed in the citation field, and (2) this content is user-editable.
