Impossible to add a rank to an entry directly from the main window

[leosumi]

If you want to add a rank to an entry, you need to add it from the edit menu. This is not an issue in jabref 4.3.1.

I would expect a pop-up to open to select the number of stars when you click the rank field of the entry (the same behavior as for the read status).

This issue has been inactive for half a year. Since JabRef is constantly evolving this issue may not be relevant any longer and it will be closed in two weeks if no further activity occurs.

As part of an effort to ensure that the JabRef team is focusing on important and valid issues, we would like to ask if you could update the issue if it still persists. This could be in the following form:

• If there has been a longer discussion, add a short summary of the most important points as a new comment (if not yet existing).
• Provide further steps or information on how to reproduce this issue.
• Upvote the initial post if you like to see it implemented soon. Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however, they do factor into our decision-making process.
• If all information is provided and still up-to-date, then just add a short comment that the issue is still relevant.

Thank you for your contribution!

In the latest master, stars can be clicked directly to set the rank:
