Still a good idea. Should be easily done in the custom entry types dialog

Can my team have a look into this issue? We are group of 4 (mix of Bachelors and Masters Students) from University of Adelaide. Also, if possible, would you be able to re-describe the whole issue? I have already read connected threads and right now everything is pretty much scattered in my mind.

In JabRef some fields are defined as single line, e.g. author title and others are defined as multiline, e.g. abstract, comment.
In the linked PR I created a kind of hacky solution to enable multiline for other (custom) fields as well. "Do not wrap fields" option

Solution would be cool to change the option (e.g. multiline) in the custom entry type dialog. In addition, it should be possible to select the type of the field, e.g. if the field holds persons or keywords.

Comment from @tobiasdiez in the linked PR

It's indeed a bit hacky. I like your idea to make this configurable since this is only one instance where people add a new field and require a certain type of action (e.g. what if I add a new "persons" field, or a new "keywords" field?). Thus having an option to specify the type of a field would be good.

Is the goal here to allow the user to choose whether to use a single line or multiline for custom entry type dialog?

Please also have in mind to make clear what is meant by "Do not wrap the following fields when saving" in the preferences
