Auto-fill the journal abbreviation field for renaming with zotfile

Hello,

I would like to use the zotfile plugin to rename pdf files in my library. I want to use the journal abbreviation (%s wildcard) as part of the filename. But the abbreviation field is empty in most of my items. Can I somehow use the auto-abbreviation function from, e.g., the word plugin, to let Zotero automatically fill this field in my library so that I can use it in zotfile?

Help is appreciated.
  • Nothing built in -- it's possible the BetterBibTeX add-on is able to do this as an artefact of it's ability to hook into the auto abbreviations for export @emilianoeheyns ?
  • I could make a faux field like I do for citationKey that would return the auto-journal-abbreviation. But the code to invoke the journal abbreviator is pretty simple, I could also provide a PR for zotfile. But in either case, jlegewie will have to do something to pick up the new feature.
