debug log 684709736

I am getting a sync error from both the Mac version of the software and the Windows version.

Just started happening after making numerous edits to multiple items.

Both version of the software report running version 7.0.30.

Thanks for your help, almost done with this writing project.

If you're using the Zotero 8 beta on one of your computers: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/504686/#Comment_504686

There'll be an update for Zotero 7 soon that will allow these items to sync.
