sync problem: The creator name too long
Hi I am getting the following error with syncing. I cannot find the "creator name" in the meta data for the pdf and the fields in zotero don't include this - the authors name there is just the authors name! Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

adamsmith'creator' is just a catch-all term for author, editor, etc. You have one that contains the entire affiliation for Sarah Wise.

sirrahnOkay thank you - with that information I managed to figure it out. The journal article with that author wasn't the one that was causing a problem. There was a website that I had saved at the same time which was including the same author and everyone else in a single string. Thanks.
