JabRef-3.4dev--snapshot--2016-04-29--master--694840a
on Windows 10

If you rename a static group, the group entries are not updated accordingly. Their "group" field will still contain the old group name (and NOT the new one).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Rename a static group
  2. Articles/group entries won't be updated accordingly and are still assigned to the old (obsolete) group name

(might be related to this one: #1434 (comment) ?)

Thanks for your report!

I can confirm this behavior for JabRef 3.4 and also the current development versions: In the UI grouping still works (i.e., although the new group name is displayed, internally it is still searched for the old term and therefore the group entries are still found correctly) - however, in the serialization the old name of the group is used in the groups field.
