As a new feature request, would it be possible to share a given book? As in, for edited books or chapters within books (pretty much the same), there can be multiple sections that I may want to cite from the same book. I don't like having to manually copy and paste all the info from one reference to another. Ideally, there would be one common "edited book" that two references can point to. Any thoughts on that?

There is a feature Refs -> Replicate as Book Chapter that you might find useful here. It's enabled when the ref window is in front and it's displaying an edited book.

This feature is surely worth its weight in gold.

THAT is what "Edited Book" is for! That makes so much more sense.

Of course, if I have duplicated 20 chapters from this edited book and later find out there was a mistake in the original, I have to go and manually change everything again. So, I still think the feature request still makes sense .. though is of lesser importance. No?

If you find a mistake in, say, the volume name it's pretty easy to select the chapters and do a find/replace in that field.
