Result:

Steps to test

Results:

Mandatory checks

• I own the copyright of the code submitted and I license it under the MIT license
• I manually tested my changes in running JabRef (always required)
• I added JUnit tests for changes (if applicable)
• I added screenshots in the PR description (if change is visible to the user)
• I described the change in CHANGELOG.md in a way that is understandable for the average user (if change is visible to the user)
• I checked the user documentation: Is the information available and up to date? If not, I created an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/issues or, even better, I submitted a pull request updating file(s) in https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/tree/main/en.

I expect that I chose some wrong naming or placement

Sorry, forgot a bit about this PR

It would be nice to have this finished, seems like you just need to adjust the mocks/options in the test?

Using StringBuilder for simple string concatenation can be replaced with StringJoiner for better readability and maintainability.

Really?

[jabref-machine]

While the PR was in progress, a new version of JabRef has been released.

You have to merge upstream/main and move your entry in CHANGELOG.md up to the section ## [Unreleased].
