just downloaded the LaTeX template. Since the bib file `Bibliography.bib` is already included in the project folder you do not need to set `BIBINPUTS`! This would only be necessary if your bibliography file is located somewhere else.

To get the citation completion also working in included files you need to specify a so-called master file. This is the file you translate to produce your (PDF-)document. In your case this is the file `main.tex`. One way to specify that `main.tex` is your master file is to write a comment of the form:

    %!TEX root = path_to_masterfile

at the top of an included file.

E.g.: If you want to get the citation completion to work in `Chapters/Chapter1.tex`, then add the following at the top of the file `Chapter1.tex`:

    %!TEX root = ../main.tex

`..` specifies the folder one level above the current folder `Chapters`. 

You can also use the command “Set Master File” inside “Bundles→LaTeX→File Preferences” to set the master file.

I hope this helps. If it does not, then please provide a description of the problems you encountered.
