Hi,
I have a larger bib file for a book, for which a lyx file run spits this warning

[7580] Utils.pm:410> ERROR - BibTeX subsystem: /tmp/biber_tmp_SWLO/d7dc170ec507816e85d64326c042e07e_4336.utf8, line 7118, syntax error: found ",", expected one of: number, name (entry type, key, field, or macro name), end of entry ("}" or ")") or quoted string ({...} or "...")

even if I reduce the lyx file to just one reference and using the large bib file. There is no Bibliography output in the pdf and the citation is not as expected, but a bold author name.

If I, however, use a minimal bib file with just this one citation, it works fine.

For me this looks like lyx goes through the (large) bib file, finds something which it does not like and does not build a correct pdf output, although it could if it would use from the (large) bib file only this one reference.

Is this correct? And could it be changed so that one is not forced to check the whole bib file for possible errors before submitting it to the lyx file?

I use Debian bullseye and
lyx Version 2.4.0dev (not released yet)
Built from git commit hash 53ed3dc0
Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.2 on platform xcb
Qt Version (compile-time): 5.15.2
Python detected: python3 -tt
