Note also that sub-inheritance is possible. Xdata can itself inherit xdata (to infinite degree), so you could have different series xdata entries all linking to a publisher xdata entry, and of course a cross-ref'ed entry could inherit xdata as well.
Thanks for the suggestion. This also refs the old issue https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/1044 The field is desribe in http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf at section 3.14.6
This is a spin-off of #7378.
Consider the following entries:
The
@xdata
content is inherited by any entry that links to it (and comma-separated multiple@xdata
entries can be employed as well). This is very useful for recurring multi-field entities such as location/publisher/series.It would be cool if the preview (both customized entry preview and CSL styles) would take this into account, as they do for
crossref
fields and@string
. Note that for@xdata
, all fields are taken as is, so no mapping (title->booktitle etc.) is done.
