Debug log ID

VCR9GA57-euc/7.0.5

What happened?

Citation key remained SSelectedWorksEdwardSaid19662006
Citation key should have been Said, The Selected Works of Edward Said 1966–2006

Current citation key formula: auth(n=1,m=1,creator="*",initials=false).fold + ", " + title

I'll need you to right click that entry in your library and select "send log" from the bbt submenu in the popup menu. The ID will have -refs- in it.

Under Better BibTeX/Send Better BibTeX debug log... (only log option I'm seeing), a log was generated and sent, with the log ID AUAP4LUI-refs-euc/7.0.5

BTW, in AUAP4LUI-refs-euc your formula is auth. lower + shorttitle(3,3) + year

Citation key remained SSelectedWorksEdwardSaid19662006 Citation key should have been Said, The Selected Works of Edward Said 1966–2006

Current citation key formula: auth(n=1,m=1,creator="*",initials=false).fold + ", " + title

But then SSelectedWorksEdwardSaid19662006 looks like the right result? auth(n=1, m=1) picks the first letter from the first name, and since commas and spaces are not valid characters in a bibtex citation key, they are removed.
