title_case/capitalize modifiers do not work on all fields

[koppor]

Help https://help.jabref.org/en/BibtexKeyPatterns shows camel, but this should be a modifier. Example: [title:title_case]

However, it does not work.

The example that you give [title:title_case] isn't mentioned in the modifiers on https://help.jabref.org/en/BibtexKeyPatterns

The other example [title:capitalize] that you gave in PR #2610 also isn't in the documentation as a modifier.

Are there any other modifiers that aren't in the help?
And are title_case and camel basically the same modifiers?

@RolfStarre Hi, we discovered a unit test from the old PR of @oscargus who once implemented it with the name title_case (which in fact is camel case, but it doesn't work on all fields, (especially it does not work on shorttitle)
And furthermore, we got to the conclusion that there was misunderstanding when writing the documentation for that implementation.

JabRef#1894

@Siedlerchr Thanks for the clarification 👍

I'll try to find some time to help improve it this week, by adding some tests and trying to fix the issues with the modifiers.

@RolfStarre May I hope that you still know which documentation you wanted to update? Maybe the PR could also go forward. I outlined an idea at JabRef#2663 (comment).

The documentation probably is https://docs.jabref.org/setup/citationkeypatterns
