In this case however, there is nothing to take care of, because original and new value are identical. Therefore, suppressing the message would be helpful.\r\n\r\nJust leaving the `year` field empty is no equivalent alternative because having a populated `year` field can be helpful for sorting/searching in other tools (like JabRef)."}}
