Customize export filter: field names with a dash are not interpreted properly

Details on version and operating system

Unknown

Checked with the latest development build

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

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Based on the discussion https://discourse.jabref.org/t/customize-export-format-in-jabref/3615/5 (and following), it looks like field names containing a dash (like label-endnote) create some trouble in the export filters: much like if the dash was an active character.

If this is a feature, it should be documented in https://docs.jabref.org/collaborative-work/export/customexports. Otherwise, it is a bug. ;-)

Oh I remember that thing. I know that I found a workaround and the question or a similar was asked in the forum a while agoa. Took me a while to find it, @k3KAW8Pnf7mkmdSMPHz27 had a solution or a workaround https://discourse.jabref.org/t/custom-export-file-with-mendeley-tags/2112/3?u=siedlerchr

Edit// I have moved it to the user docs repo
