How can I update references after editing the bibliography entry?

OK, I will try again to explain my problem more clearly.

SITUATION: Writing an academic text with inserting references in the text.

Via

--> tools --> Bibliography Database

I opened the database, typed in the entry data in the single fields and allocated a short name to each entry

in the text, when I want to insert a reference I select the short name from a dropdown menu via

--> Insert --> Indexes and Tables --> Bibliography Entry

voila, the short name in brackets appears in the text.

At the end of the text I select

--> Insert --> Indexes and Tables --> Indexes and Tables

to insert the List of References which shows all data I filled into the Bibliography Database

NOW: MY PROBLEM

when I now change the entries in the bibliography database, e.g. add or delete information, these changes are not taken over by the List of References when I update that field (Rightclick --> Update Index/Table)

Any hints on that? Or do I have to insert each reference into the text anew?

That did not work. The entry data of every single reference I inserted in the text is not updated by the data that I added in the bibliography database.

if I click on such a reference and select "edit" it still shows the old rudimentary data, not the data I manually added in the bibliography database. Even if I do edit the fields here, it does not take over the changes.

If I insert the same reference anew, it does. However I do not necessarily want to insert every reference again...
