We are improving the reference view, including always showing fields that are relevant for the selected reference type. This will address issues raised in this idea.

The improvement that Shalhevet mentions to always show fields relevant to the reference type is welcome but does not address the issue. Legacy RefWorks allowed the default settings to be changed by administrator or by the user. The Library receives complaints about incorrect references from users and lack of this functionality is causing some faculties and users to continue with Legacy RefWorks.

That is a very disappointing backwards step for RefWorks, especially as the legacy is soon to be withdrawn and users will no longer have the choice of which version suits their needs best.
The templates are supposed to be helpful and prompt users to easily enter the required data.
The particular researcher I was helping came to me as her references looked dreadful - she had been entering data to the limited range of fields in the template and not aware of ability to add further fields. She is now faced with having to add the fields for the majority of references used for her thesis (most are unpublished material and the standard Chicago 17th template does not include Source accession or Source Library!) and is contemplating switching to EndNote or Mendeley - not a good result for RefWorks.
