Repeating export error
Hello.
I have encountered this same error repeatedly related to author name being too long for syncronization. I have filed error raport n.o:2112120074 related to this issue.
I have been able to repeat this error while exporting citations as a RIS file from APA Psycinfo database via Ovid. Number of citations end up with too much information in the "Editor-first name" data field, containing multiple full names and/or names of institutions. Error is related to Zotero being unable to syncronize data becouse of this. Field contains strings such as:

I have been able to manage these one by one so far, but some way to handle these kind of errors en masse would be helpful. I will look into reporting this to OVID as well, since it seems to be related to the way they generate RIS files as you say.
