"Creators is Required" Warning

edited 9 days ago
Hey there!

Occasionally while doing my research and writing work in Zotero, I use the Magic Import Tool, and get a nonblocking popup warning that "Creators is Required." Typically, this is associated with articles that don't have author names.
  • I've never seen this -- do you have any plugins enabled, e.g. Zotero Linter?

    I think, "That's a bingo! How fun! :D"

    Yes, I am using Zotero Linter!

    I wasn't going to mention, but perhaps I must, that I'm using the following Zotero plugins: Attanger, Better BibTeX, Linter, MarkDB-Connect, and Zotero OCR. Better BibTeX is what Obsidian.app uses to speak to Zotero using the Obsidian.app Community Plugin, Zotero Integration. Any template I've had to write or edit in Zotero does not use the {{creators}} tag – hate having to work with the code in those templates because they totally distract from actual work – so I mostly use others' work on them and just edit them a bit.

    I'm hoping I don't have to make any changes involving those templates or Better BibTeX because that distracts from actual work. Don't know how the Obsidian templaters find the time…
