It's not a usability decision — it's just one feature that hasn't yet been implemented [1]. Updating metadata is more complicated than creating a new item, because you have to deal with the existing metadata somehow. (Mendeley just overwrites the existing item, often with incorrect data, which we don't consider acceptable.)

- hyeonwho4 8y agoI really love the "duplicate finder" and its ability to pick and choose metadata to keep. Perhaps just create a duplicate item and deal with merge conflicts later?
