@Luigi, where did you get the library you attached to this bug report? It appears to be broken. The datasheet field should get saved in the dcm file not the lib file. There may have been a bug in an older version of libedit that caused this issue. Creating a new library with a single symbol using 5.1.2 results in the correct behavior. You may have to open your library and save it again to fix the issue. That should resolve your issue.

This lib was made by me in Kicad from 4.x versions and works fine till 5.0.2 version.

The datasheet field is one of the default ones when creating a new component and it has always been there.

So, i dont believe it is a bug in a older version of libedit because the only field that work incorrectly is Datasheet. Footprint, Value and Reference work fine.

Here, the solution proposed doesn't work for me. :/
