Grouping using custom fields sometimes

JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

Windows 10H2

Checked with the latest development build

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. I create a group using the Collect by Searching for Keyword using the field Entrytype and the keyword report.
2. The group contains 1 record that contains the word report in the Title field.
3. It should have 2 records with the Entrytype Report.

No problem with Jabref, just wrong syntax in your configuration. Puh 😄

Here, your bib file in a way that works:
test.zip

Detailed solution:

1. Remove the brackets [ and ] from [entrytype] = {Report},.
   It triggers the following error:
   
   You did it for this entry:

   @Calibration{Calibration2021,
     citationkey      = {Calibration2021},
     entrytype        = {report},
     title            = {Calibration Reports},
     year             = {2021},
     [entrytype]      = {Report},
     creationdate     = {2022-02-23T07:10:05},
     modificationdate = {2022-02-23T07:52:41},
   }
   

2. entrytype = {report}, was missing for two of the entries

3. the syntax for collect by searching for keyword was wrong. Remove the brackets here also. This one works:

Nice usage of keywords in combination with custom entry types btw. 👍 Never thought about using it that way, but it works! :) Closing this.
