Autocompletion in "Short Title" field based on words in Title

rosiep
It would be nice if, when manually entering an item, as you started to type in the Short Title field, if the first letter matches the first word in the full Title (which it mostly likely always would), Zotero would intelligently propose that full word, and ditto for the next word, and so on until, you'd typed as many words of the full Title as are part of the Short Title. Or better yet, as soon as the user starts typing in a Short Title, if it matches the first letter of the Title, intelligently fill in all the words of the Title up to the first colon, since that is how Zotero figures out the Short Title for automatically acquired entries.

    Or better yet, it would be nice if short title would be automatically filled on tabbing out of the title fields, with all the words from the title before the column.

    And it would be nice to be able to batch edit short titles to match the full title. And I think it should work when importing a REF from a translator as well

    Short titles are already automatically populated on import when it's possible.
