[cmgoodall]

I have added the Type 'Bachelor's Thesis' to the dropdown of Types when choosing the EntryType of Thesis.

resolves #10029

so far it looks good, we just need to recheck if the preferences error happens again or can happen again.

I've tried to recreate the issue however, have been unsuccessful. I think the issue might have stemmed from the fact I had JabRef preferences saved from the actual application and they might have been messing with it? I'm not 100% sure though. I've looked at all the files you've recommended and cannot see anything that is causing the error.

I also tested it locally back and forth with an older version of JabRef and could not reproduce the issue, so I think it's fine

No further actions necessary, the build will be automatically merged now.

@cmgoodall I don't see an issue at the user-documentation. Can you provide the link? https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc

Hi @koppor. Apologies, I didn't realise I was required to do this. I have just raised an issue

JabRef/user-documentation#472

@cmgoodall I think @koppor is referring to

• Checked developer's documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I outlined it in this pull request.
• Checked documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I created an issue at JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, I submitted a pull request to the documentation repository.

that is, are there any parts of the user documentation that should be updated due to this PR, and if so, which parts?
From a generic open-source point of view, JabRef/user-documentation#472 is not easily actionable for someone not familiar with this issue and PR (i.e., me 😅) because they are unlikely to be familiar with the thesis EntryType. Is there more context you can add to the documentation issue, create a PR, or briefly argue why you don't believe it to be necessary/useful? When I quickly search for phdthesis in our documentation, I don't find anything I believe needs to be updated, barring perhaps the field mapping.

Some spontaneous ideas: Maybe a new screenshot of the entry editor? Maybe pointing the user to a place in the biblatex documentation where this feature is described?
