Thank you; that fixed the problem.

Sorry, there was a typo in the key name on the Wiki. It is what I wrote above, 
so without the “Key” at the end.

I have followed the Wiki and done:

defaults write edu.ucsd.cs.mmccrack.bibdesk BDSKAdditionalFieldsToCompleteKey 
-array Comment

defaults write edu.ucsd.cs.mmccrack.bibdesk BDSKAdditionalFieldsToCompleteKey 
-array-add Title

This modifies the plist, but the fields still do not complete.

Hello,

After upgrading from 1.8.20 to 1.9.4, fields like "Title" and "Comment" no 
longer auto-complete. Is there a way to fix this? The release notes mention 
"New hidden preference for custom fields to complete". I looked at the wiki, 
but I cannot figure out how to use these preferences.

Thanks,
Werner

We don’t complete generic fields anymore since 1.9.3, as it does not make much 
sense to complete full field values that generically are unique, while this 
does add a lot of overhead. So I don’t really see why completing Titile would 
have any use, as different items will generally not have the same title.

But in 1.9.4 you can add more fields to include for completion. It is explained 
on the Wiki in the Tips & Tricks section. The key is 
BDSKAdditionalFieldsToComplete.
