How to stop zotero from replacing my parentheses with square brackets?

SJD.
Hi all,

When I insert a prefix/suffix that contains multiple parentheses, zotero automatically replaces the nested parentheses with square brackets.

Example, if I insert the following prefix/suffix:
(citing x (2025))
Zotero renders it as follows:
(citing x [2025])

I dont think this is a csl issue, at least thats what chatgpt tells me.

Hopefully you have a fix for this. I dont like to manually edit my citations. It messes with footnotes updates.

TIA

    This is done automatically by the processor to help with differentiating the two sets of brackets.
    Considering you're citing in notes, why do you want to have brackets? Are you editing every single citation?

    (And don't use ChatGPT for this)

    @damnation: My research requires a lot of parentheticals and discussion in footnotes. Also, why shouldn't I use chatgpt to edit my csl?

    But at least in English, flipping parentheses is universally correct (from all we've seen, LLMs do poorly with CSL because there just isn't a ton of training data, comparatively speaking)
