Dear all,

I have just updated to the latest Bibdesk version (1.8.1), and it seems to have 
a different behaviour when generating custom cite keys.

My cite key format is:
%f{Mnrascitekey}%u1
where Mnrascitekey is a custom field in my bibtex entries. For example:


@article{Aggarwal.2021a,
        adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System},
        adsurl = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021arXiv210302581A},
        archiveprefix = {arXiv},
        author = {{Aggarwal}, K M},
        date-added = {2021-03-09 09:56:38 -0300},
        date-modified = {2021-03-09 09:56:40 -0300},
        eid = {arXiv:2103.02581},
        eprint = {2103.02581},
        journal = {arXiv e-prints},
        mnrascitekey = {Aggarwal.2021},
        month = mar,
        pages = {arXiv:2103.02581},
        primaryclass = {physics.atom-ph},
        title = {{Electron Impact Excitation of O III: An Assessment}},
        year = 2021,}


mnrascitekey = {Aggarwal.2021}
so Bibdesk generates
cite key = Aggarwal.2021a, since there is no other Aggarwal.2021 cite key in my 
file.


Using the new version of Bibdesk, however, the %u1 format generates a random 
letter (albeit the same for a given entry). E.g.:

@article{Radcliffe.etal.2021i,
        adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System},
        adsurl = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021arXiv210308575R},
        archiveprefix = {arXiv},
        author = {{Radcliffe}, J.~F. and {Barthel}, P.~D. and {Thomson}, A.~P. 
and {Garrett}, M.~A. and {Beswick}, R.~J. and {Muxlow}, T.~W.~B.},
        date-added = {2021-03-16 09:09:29 -0300},
        date-modified = {2021-03-16 16:18:09 -0300},
        eid = {arXiv:2103.08575},
        eprint = {2103.08575},
        journal = {arXiv e-prints},
        mnrascitekey = {Radcliffe.etal.2021},
        month = mar,
        pages = {arXiv:2103.08575},
        primaryclass = {astro-ph.GA},
        title = {{Nowhere to Hide: Radio-faint AGN in the GOODS-N field. II. 
Multi-wavelength AGN selection techniques and host galaxy properties}},
        year = 2021,
        Bdsk-Url-1 = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021arXiv210308575R},
        Bdsk-Url-2 = 
{https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/link_gateway/2021arXiv210308575R/EPRINT_HTML}}

@article{Pilipenko.2013t,
        adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System},
        adsurl = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013arXiv1303.5961P},
        archiveprefix = {arXiv},
        author = {{Pilipenko}, Sergey V.},
        date-added = {2021-03-09 09:56:50 -0300},
        date-modified = {2021-03-16 16:19:10 -0300},
        eid = {arXiv:1303.5961},
        eprint = {1303.5961},
        journal = {arXiv e-prints},
        mnrascitekey = {Pilipenko.2013},
        month = mar,
        pages = {arXiv:1303.5961},
        primaryclass = {astro-ph.CO},
        title = {{Paper-and-pencil cosmological calculator}},
        year = 2013,
        Bdsk-Url-1 = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013arXiv1303.5961P},
        Bdsk-Url-2 = 
{https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/link_gateway/2013arXiv1303.5961P/EPRINT_HTML}}


Has anything changed in the way Bibdesk generates cite keys?

Thank you!
Natalia
