Zotero 7 - How to automatically make an item's citation the title for an annotation note

drjmcmillan

Hello
Firstly - many many thanks for Zotero.

I am trying to use the extensions.zotero.annotations.noteTemplates.title modifier to change the automatic title of my annotation notes created with the "Add item note from annotations" option. I would like the automatic use of "Annotations" as the title to be changed to the citation of the related item.

I have tried changing <h1>{{title}}<br/>({{date}})</h1> to <h1>{{citation}}<br/>({{date}})</h1>. But it doesn't work. The title just appears blank. To be honest my understanding of HTML is virtually nil but I thought this would work and doesn't. I suppose fundamental to my uncertainty is understanding what {{title}} actually refers to.

There is probably something simple I am overlooking/not getting here but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Currently, only date and title variables are supported. Title is just a localized "Annotations" word. Could you explain your workflow in more detail so we can better understand why citation title is necessary?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I am basically copying highlights/comments annotations from certain papers as a summary for other readers into word documents. I just felt it may be a simple thing when the note was created that the title became the citation (or full reference not bothered which). I managed to figure out how to change the formatting of the notes with the online advice and wondered if I could make the title change automatically as well. It's not a big thing really :)
