Reset numbering for thesis chapters
It would be great if there was a way to reset the citation numbering for each chapter of a thesis.
I know adamsmith has been suggesting that people write chapters separately and then paste them altogether, but it's annoying to have to re-join documents every time I need to change one reference.
Also, I had already joined my chapters to create a table of contents and to be able to reference tables/figures by their respective section/chapter numbers before I found out I can't do this with zotero citations. Now I essentially have to disassemble my intricately connected chapters...

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Thanks for your reply.
For people who have this problem in the future, I solved this by creating a Master Document (in Microsoft Word). Once I insert all the documents into one master document, I can update all the table/figure/ToC fields to match their respective chapters (Ctrl-A, then F9). Because Zotero doesn't have master bibliography support, the numbering for the individual chapters won't change. I can still edit the individual chapters and then just update the master document.
